I tend to hold onto old technology that works.
A few months ago, one of my Win 8 computers (ASUS laptop) developed a problem in which the OS has determined that 100% of the disk space is being utilized (according to the Task Manager). When I check the disk, it's less than 40%. For some reason, I can't use chkdsk.
I also understand that the same problem has occurred in Win 10. I'm reluctant to upgrade to Win10 since that may not solve the problem.
So far, I took it to a local expert recommended by a colleague, but he suggested a reset, which seems rather drastic. In the past, I just went into the regedit and cleared up problems, including malware.
What is a viable way to resolve this issue?
