The April 2018 Update for Windows 10 has a bunch of problems. Why are we in this hellish techno-nightmare?Īll right, maybe that’s a little strong, but I am so sick of Microsoft’s self-inflicted wounds that I could scream.
When you hit Enter, the “full” drive will disappear from File Explorer and you will stop getting notifications about it. (There’s a space after mountvol, and a space after the colon before /D.) Put in the drive letter of the full drive. Right-click on “Command Prompt” and click on “Run as administrator.”. You need to know the drive letter of the “full” drive – F: or G: or H: or whatever. Taking on this kind of responsibility is what makes all IT pros wealthy and highly respected. If you mistype the command and all your files disappear and your computer won’t turn on and your dog is missing and your Amazon Echo badmouths you behind your back, I can’t be responsible. Go through my checklist above one more time. You’re going to run a command that will remove the drive letter from the “full” drive. How to fix the Low Disk Space notification Windows Central says: “According to reports, Microsoft is aware of the issue, and the company may release a cumulative update to automatically address this problem.” I haven’t found any confirmation of that anywhere else. I see lots of people looking for answers online. I’ve been contacted by many clients about this in the last couple of days. If it’s larger, with its size measured in gigabytes (GB), then it might be one of your real drives used to store files and you have a different problem. The drive that is full is small, typically less than 1Gb. If it is the C: drive, you have a different problem. You are getting “Low disk space” notifications about a drive that is full. If it says version 1709, you don’t have the update and this doesn’t apply to you. If it says version 1803, you have the update. Click on Start / Settings / System / About and scroll down to Windows Specifications. Your computer installed the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. This fix applies to you only if all the following things are true. Computers are too hard to use and all too often it’s Microsoft’s fault. There’s an easy fix – all you have to do is run a short, dangerous command that could potentially kill your computer if you mistype it. If you start seeing a barrage of notifications about “low disk space” on your Windows 10 computer, it is likely to be the result of a bug in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update.
This is why Microsoft doesn’t have any friends.
