    Windows Explorer Not Reporting Storage Correctly


    I have a 250GB SK Hynix SSD installed on my computer. I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 Home. Windows Explorer reports that I've used 116 GB, whereas WinDirStat says I've used 79.4 GB. The storage menu in the settings app reports that I've used 132 GB.

    I'm bewildered as to why these three programs report so differently. Is there any way I can tell the real amount of storage I've used?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Windows Explorer Not Reporting Storage Correctly wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
