The size of W11, MS Off, apps updates etc. has increased from 43 to 53 GB on my active drive. Have no clutter on it, run CCleaner regularly before each reboot and Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup after each update?
Do I need to run some specific disk tests etc.?
Could the increase be due to indexing...I have none movies, songs etc. on the drive? But I do occasionally watch movies on it, (not on the desktop).
Is it wise to disable indexing, it's pros and cons and would it increase the responsiveness of my laptop?
If yes how do I disable it?
Hoping to hear from you experts.
Thanks.
