Maybe... I've just updated to this latest Dev build and now get this telling me to right click when I hover although even that is flaky. Sometimes have to left the click the picture presumably to bring it into focus before the popup message will appear. I don't like the way it works now.

@Bree My old test set up running standard release 23H2 on unsupported hardware behaves similar to what you show for the Spotlight images. Certainly right clicking doesn't bring the four images up that I am used to. I'll update my Dev system later today. You mean this:

I don't know what to say really to that :-) Isn't the 890MB partition the one that contains the recovery environment (WinRE). Is that what you deleted? If you paste this into PowerShell or CMD.EXE it will tell you if the recovery environment is working.

While on the subject of disk space do you ever check here, the WindowsLiveKernelReports folder? It will always report as empty if you hover over it so click it and click through the permissions box that will appear and have a see if anything is there. These are log files and can be deleted if...

That is so true. In fact on this latest install I haven't even run SFC or DISM commands because I suspect half the time you are chasing your tail with so called errors that aren;t errors at all... that's another story though. I do actually wonder how low (my free space) will go or whether it...

That's exactly what I'm getting at. It should only have changed minimally but I'll bet in reality it has grown considerably. Unless you keep notes you won't know for sure. When I clean installed in December (so just 4 months ago) I started a tally chart. This is showing free space rather than...

Look at the problem from the other end. Keep tabs on the size of the installation Macrium is backing up rather than just looking at Macrium file sizes. An 'unexplained' increase in Macrium full image disk image size implies the image file is growing while the Windows installation being backed...

Thanks. That goes some way to explaining why it is so 'up and down' at times.

Thanks for the insight on how all that works. It was just curiosity really.

The official 'Windows Insider Download Previews' page only has the previous feature update and not the latest 26200.xxxx series. How often are these updated? (I know there is UUP dump but was curious on these) Windows Insider Download Previews

I must admit I obsess a bit over free space and how updates seem to constantly reduce it even if you do run full cleanups. I'm actually keeping a note just for my own interest to see if the constant reductions eventually level out. Since December I'm 9Gb down but things do seem to have...

These are my notes on Audacity (from a while back admittedly) as I use Audacity quite a bit. It might help someone. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html To record from browser... Using Windows WASAPI. This disables record level in...

Yes, it is a feature update, a new build that leaves a 'Windows Old' folder of the previous installation that can be deleted.

Updated this morning. Exported the Windows Metrics registry key first as feature updates always reset these to default. All completed seemingly OK. I'm always interested in how much space these things consume. 118Gb free falling to 110Gb after update downloads. 92Gb free after update installs...

Thanks for replying Shawn. That toggle is turned on. I honestly thought if you clean installed W11 Dev OS that you then got Edge Dev by default as well. I did clean install only in December and so that is where my confusion comes from. So it looks like its me :oops: and your TUT agrees with...
