kitekrazy1 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 On one of my systems it started to compress the OS drive. This was never checked before. In fact I couldn't disable it without going online to find a way to do it. Always review what happens in a Windows upgrade. There is no such thing a set it and forget it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Watch out for this one... if you're style-dial directory is compressed, they stop working. It took me a while of searching through the old forum to find this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed an option in disk cleanup that offered to compress the system drive to save space, but it was unchecked and I left it that way.

"Local Disk (C:) Properties > Disk Cleanup" I think with that checked it's suppose to compress the drive and not delete that space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you were talking about compression. MS has hidden a setting to compress the OS drive in disk cleanup, and that was the point I was trying to make. It's probably just another Windows setting that you should be aware of if you want to avoid drive compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
