That number isn't what it seems. NTFS has long supported a feature where a single copy of a file file can appear in multiple folders. This feature is used extensively in the Windows folder. When Explorer goes through the Windows folder it counts the size of each of these files separately even though there is only one copy. This leads to an inflated count and size.
The determination of the disk space consumed by an individual folder in a modern file system is highly problematic and the results only an approximation. It is even more of a problem for the Windows folder. This is a lot more complicated than it appears.
Yes, but look at my properties image. It appears that properties properly takes this into account now. I show 18GB, but only 13 GB on disk.

I've an Asus PCE-A88 Wi-Fi device
I made a video to explain it
Speedtest - icona wi-fi che si disabilita parzialmente - Streamable
This has been happening for about 2 months now. Whenever I am in a game or watchign a stream the PC completely turns off, not a traditional shut down and immediately restarts. Please let me know if you need more information
