Or posting or doing anything on my PC for now. Windows updated earlier this week, and we all know what that means. Something is bound to go goofy. In this case, almost all disk storage is kaput. Well, not at first. At first when the PC reboots, it has about a GB of storage left. Then it goes back to normal. And then, like my savings account, you can watch it drop within about a handful of minutes until the inevitable warning sign of 'not enough memory' pops up. At which point I reboot and, if fast enough, check a few things and emails and get a post like this out before it all starts over. Hopefully something will fix it soon, but that's about it. Already I can see the GBs have dropped since I started this post, so again, when it's back to normal (sooner the better), I'll be able to get caught up with comments. In the meantime, take care and thanks for visiting.
Storage is one of the main reasons I never updated to Windows 11. I'm not sure if that is the update you're referring to but I do know that it takes up more storage than 10 and I will not upgrade my hardware to accommodate their software bloat. Windows 11 takes up a lot more space than 10 and it's just not worth it if 10 has been running fine all along.
ReplyDeleteMy day job is in tech and win11 was a headache back when it started.
DeleteIt has not improved since they've gone in on A.I.
Dave will probably need a friend to get a linux disc to boot the computer off of and at least backup the data before deciding what to do with the machine.
Usually after an upgrade, you have the option of going back to the prior OS(windows 10 in this case?), but the window of opportunity doesn't last for ever and has to be done quickly.
