Warning about disk cleanup tool regarding windows update option
So the windows explorer disk cleanup tool, has an option for cleaning old windows updates, for some reason on my laptop this has been runnning for just over 3 hours with steady writes going to the SSD on it with high cpu consumption, so I tried to find out whats going on, I came across this article.

In short it seems who ever designed the tool made the assumption that if you wanted to clean up old update files, you also must want to compress all your system files.
So just a heads up, I expect many dont use this now as its deprecated, but was a bit of an eye opener that happens without specific consent.
