Windows 10: Windows Explorer showing incorrect free space for internal drive

Hi all - I have an internal HDD with ~7gb of used space, but Windows Explorer (and 'Settings > Local Storage') both report the drive as being totally free (see screenshot below)




----------------------------------------------------------------------
Similarly, in Properties:





It's odd that Windows is apparently aware that there is ~7gb of data on the drive (as you can see that the Used Space is being reported correctly), yet it incorrectly shows the drive as completely free

I looked around online and didn't find anyone with this specific problem, though I did have trouble refining a precise enough search for this issue (most of the results being returned were for the "opposite" problem, wherein Windows would over-represent the used space rather than the free space for various reasons)

Notes:
- I am able to access the data on the drive just fine; it's mostly videos & there are a few other small things.
- (C is an SSD
- I tried plugging in an external HDD to see if it would be represented correctly, and it was; as you can see Windows is also showing correct figures for the USB drive
- Shutting down / restarting makes no difference
- Windows 10 Home, Asus.

Any help is much appreciated - I would really like to get it to show the correct amount of free space!

Internal SATA drive show on Device Manager But not on Explorer listing


I used up all the allowed space in the title there - couldn't put a question mark on the end.



Wonder why I can't see the WD hard drive I just hooked up to a SATA port on my H170 board?

There are currently two seagate drive SATA connected and the DVD drive. And an external Seagate on USB.

I put the WD in and I can see it in device manager but nowhere else.

I have a couple of screenshots:








Can anyone help?

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
