    Windows 11 Upgrade: Worked fine to start but now apps on C drive are slowly failing


    Recently updated to Windows 11. I needed to update to GPT system so used the in-built Windows conversion tool to do this. Ran into system restore issue reagentc not enabled but upon restart this issue seemed to correct itself. After running some application fine for a few hours I put my PC to sleep. Upon waking the PC stopped loading some of my Steam games and Steinberg Cubase. Restarting hasn't helped. I saw that Windows updates were meant to help but when opening I get an error message saying this has failed and when I try to explore the options the settings window becomes unresponsive. St

    What's eating up my \C: drive?

    That reduced System Volume Information to 662 KB, left $GetCurrent at 3.8 GB which is called media when clicking the little arrow. Storage sense or Disk cleanup gave no reference to $GetCurrent, and the [2 files] are pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys.

    I will thank everyone and mark this thread as solved, I now have over 27 GB of free space on my C: drive, it must just slowly get down to size where Windows warned me with a red "flag" when viewing This PC.

    Swap C & D Drive back to SSD & HHD

    I had some issues with updating Windows: Redirecting

    I followed the steps but I noticed that Windows 11 was working really slowly. I looked on Task Manger and it looks like my drives have swapped? Originally my C drive was the SSD and D drive was HDD but now they have swapped so C Drive is HDD and D is SSD.

    How can you swap your drives?
