Windows 10: Windows is reading drive capacity and freespace wrong

Discus and support Windows is reading drive capacity and freespace wrong in Windows 10 Gaming to solve the problem; It seems to me that the blue bar does not have a relation to reality, Drives C and D seem reasonable. The rest? Ugh!... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Gaming' started by HenrikBran, Jan 31, 2025.

    Recovery drive reports incorrect capacity

    I have a 1TB external drive which I have set up as a Recovery drive. After the Recovery drive has been created File Manager reports the capacity as 39GB (8GB used and 31GB freespace). Have viewed the drive with DiskManagement it shows 870GB of unallocated
    space. It would appear that the recovery disk utility wants to exclude me from using the rest of this disk?
