Other Windows 10 April Update users noticed that at least one of their drives appeared to be fulled when there were actually no files store there.

The other problem is more worrying, is its showing my E drive as being full but when i click on the E drive folder its showing nothing at all even though i have hidden files to be showing. Btw my E drive is the drive that is partitioned for the windows operating system.

To fix this problem, use can use Diskpart. Here are the steps to follow:

Start Windows 10 setup using a bootable USB or DVD.

Go to Advanced tools > select Command Prompt > enter start diskpart.

Now enter list disk to see all the hard drives connected to your computer.

Find the number that represents the problematic hard drive > enter select disk 1 (we used 1 as an example, so replace 1 with a number that matches your hard drive).

Enter the following commands and hit Enter after each line:

disk 0 clean
disk 0 create partition primary
disk 0 active
disk 0 format fs=ntfs quick
disk 0 assign

Enter exit in order to close Command Prompt.

Start the installation process again.

My pc just updated to the april update. But i,ve noticed a few things. First of all it seemed to remove my nvidia gpu completely which is weird. I can’t even right click on the screen where you can usually see the nvidia stuff.

You can quickly solve this problem by downloading and installing the latest Nvidia driver update (which is version 397.31 if you’re using an GeForce Experience GPU).

6. Fluent Design apps are laggy

Microsoft revamped Windows 10‘s UI using Fluent Design elements. However, sometimes Fluent Design apps can get quite laggy, as this user reports:

Open fluent design apps […] activate timeline, there will be laggy animation and also upon click the app back..even groove music (upon clicking it back only). The strange thing is when i connect to external full hd monitor and make it the only screen, the problem solved.. It was something related with very high dpi display that cause the problem
