This has happened before on other Windows 10 builds. I blogged about this on October 12 and again on November 11 last year. Here are some links:

Cleanup 3.99 TB from 500GB Drive! - Windows Enterprise Desktop
The issue, as forum member Bree explained it back when, is that a file with lots of hard links is going to be reported as equal in size to the number of copies linked. Thus, for a 200 MB file, 10 hard links means 2 GB! The older updates were in the range of 900 MB to 1.1 GB if memory serves, and reported as 3.99 TB likewise. It's not a bug, it's a feature!
HTH,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's been a matter of ridicule for years now, was happening since W7 at least.
I wonder if anyone has filed a claim against Microsoft in small claims court? "You promised me 4 TB of free space and I want my 4 TB of free space!"
