I just reformatted my system drive and reinstalled Windows 8.1 yesterday. The only software I've installed so far is Chrome and Steam (just the Steam app, no games). But for some reason I'm using up 80 GB of space on my system drive. Windows can't possibly be using that much space, right? I...

An investigation of my 64bit Win 7 systems shows that the folder C:\Windows\assembyl\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\Temp\ has almost 12 GB content. I have never seen such a big space occupation before (for a Windows "Temp") directory. I must have bloated in the last weeks. What could be the...

So, when I ordered my computer I saw that I'd have 1TB of storage.

On a vanilla Gateway PC with 6GB RAM (50%), 500GB available disk space, the HD has started showing a very periodic 100% write usage (~12 sec on, 1 sec off). The Read usage is quite normal. This makes the system extremely slow. Resource Monitor reports many processes with PID 4, but none seem...

I've got a very unusual problem, that's only recently started happening. When using AIM (AOL Instant Manager) and saving the logs of my IM conversations, eventually it freezes up. No error message, it simply hangs, goes transparrent-gray, and if I click it I get the Windows message "The program...

Hi I'm still questioning why the driver store folder is so large. On my computer it's 25 Gigabytes of the total 36.9 Gigabytes of my Windows install. While I still have enough free space, I wonder why some people can have such small Windows installations. Obviously they don't have this folder...
