Microsoft updates are generally designed to introduce new features and improvements and fix bugs. However, it’s no secret that some updates cause issues that impact user experience. For instance, after installing Windows 11 24H2, users encountered a storage sensor issue that prevented them from reclaiming space occupied by temporary files.
Fortunately, Microsoft’s second cumulative update in October 2024 has partially addressed this issue, relieving affected users.
The second cumulative update of October 2024 partially fixes the storage bug in Windows 11
Recently, a storage management issue in Windows 11 version 24H2 surfaced, preventing users from deleting certain temporary files. This bug wasn’t minor; for some, nearly 9 GB of space was locked up by unremovable files. Since the error appeared with the Windows 11 24H2 update, many users became wary of installing it.
After some investigation, Microsoft has released a partial fix. According to the Windows Blog, Microsoft’s official blog notes that the second cumulative update for October 2024 partially addresses the storage issue. This update enhances the accuracy of disk cleanup tools, helping users get a clearer estimate of available storage.
Microsoft has committed to fully resolving the issue in a future update and aims to improve disk space calculations for a better user experience overall. It’s encouraging to see Microsoft’s quick response in working to enhance both Windows 10 and 11, aiming to provide users with an improved and seamless operating system.
