This patch is chunky as for Windows + CoPilot PCs it contains an Large Language Model that runs on the NPU. Oher PCs just ignore this.

I was meaning where in my laptop settings can i find the detail?
Was looking in 'about your pc' section and it says 57GB of 477GB used. I just got this laptop recently and was wondering how much of the 57GB was taken by the OS.

Most of it will be in the Windows system folder but some of your installed software will also put files in there.

My C drive has 1.35TB of used space but my Windows folder is just 39GB and I have quite a lot of software installed.

Just looked and Autodesk uses almost 10GB of that space. The system folder is under 8GB.

KB5065426 is now being forced on us - it's a huge download 

some users are reporting up to 88Gb in size 

It is not being forced, you can still turn off updates, or disable them entirely and only install them manually if you really want. 

Gb or GB? 88GB, or Gb if that is what you mean is only 8.1GB.

Mine appears to be over 10Gb !

Be warned

MS claim it to be 3.6Gb which is big enough 

Ignoring that the size is actually a reporting error, the download size is 3.6GB, although if one were updating form a clean install of Windows 11 it would also download other updates, 10GB could happen if you had not downloaded updates for many months. 

That being said, 3.6GB is not a lot to download, or even 10GB. 

You can't turn windows 11 home updates off completely - all that you can do is delay them by 4 weeks !

There are some steps you can take to disable completely, Google will get you there (though it will involve things like changing registry values / modifying local policy settings).

I do have to amuse myself:

Half the Windows users on the internet: "Oh no! Windows 10 updates are stopping. WHAT DO I DO"
The other half: "Oh No! Windows 11 updates itself. WHAT DO I DO"

Easy for even a novice to use https://wpd.app
They can toggle it on and off at will. Easier than trying to remember what you changed within the Registry.

I don't know whether it was update related - but my win 11 laptop has started to cause problems when logging on (the password box doesn't let me type in - and using the on-screen keyboard is the same)...

I have to wait a good 2 minutes before it becomes "LIVE" 

Anyone else with the same problem ?
