| 1350896 | 2013-08-08 10:30:00 | Ah, right. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 1350898 | 2013-08-08 22:06:00 | But what I'm not understanding is why it should occasionally rise so excessively when usually there is 50gb free. it could also be some sort of (crappy) automated backup, trying to backup to the c: . Or perhaps a shadow copy issue? Check the windows log files, it will have errors/warnings when the HD is full & may tell you what was running & failing at the time . |

Couldn't see anything in the Event Viewer - I was getting alerts from HDDLife Pro . Once again, if (when) it happens again I'll do that . |

| 1350900 | 2013-08-10 02:22:00 | Perhaps the pagefile? Windows can dynamically expand it if it needs to (though I don't know if it will go that big!) Perhaps you have some program with a major bug\memory leak? Or something is trying to open a ZIP file or other archive with a 'decompression bomb' inside .

| 1350901 | 2013-08-10 04:22:00 | It's not the pagefile - I've deliberately put that on a different partition. I'm reasonably sure I don't have any malware - as I said before MSE hasn't detected anything and I'm pretty careful about what I download. I think I'll have to wait for the next occurrence, look at TreeSize and report back. Totally OT but I've gone over my Actrix datacap and I've been throttled back to a crawl - incredibly frustrating! Fortunately it is only until tomorrow. It's because I haven't had TV for the last couple of weeks (don't ask) and I've been pigging out on TV on demand. Should have TV and the speed back on Monday though. |

| 1350902 | 2013-08-16 06:24:00 | The drive has filled up again, and it looks like it is the windows performance toolkit that is the culprit: Microsoft Windows Performance Toolkit 42.7 GB 42.7 GB 4 0 96.4 % 15/08/2013 12/10/2012 boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1_km_premerge... 42.6 GB 42.6 GB 1 0 99.8 % 15/08/2013 12/10/2012 boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1_um_premerg... 0.1 GB 0.1 GB 1 0 0.2 % 15/08/2013 12/10/2012 boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1.cab 0.0 GB 0.0 GB How do I get control over this? |

| 1350903 | 2013-08-16 06:44:00 | Well if you installed it uninstall it. PC tools performance toolkit isnt installed is it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1350904 | 2013-08-16 08:22:00 | Windows Performance Toolkit is part of Windows ADK and SDK (Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit & Windows Software Development Kit ) Its not a small download/install, the ADK is just over 2.5GB. I have the ADK installed fully on a workshop PC, and that's not using up space on its own, apart from when I work with it, even then its only a few GB in making the deployment tasks. |
