New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast Build 18309 (19H1) - Jan. 3 Insider

In poking around various settings in 18309, I came across a strange anomaly. My C: drive, on which this build is installed, totals 96 GB. Settings>Storage reports 295 GB, that's gigabytes, IN USE, with 80.4 GB free. The 80.4 GB free number is correct, but claiming 295 GB in use on a 96 GB partition is an obvious bug.

290 of this is reported as System & reserved, 4.4 as Apps & features, and some dribs and drabs of other stuff.

Do other people see anything like this? I searched Feedback but didn't see anything similar. Is this known behavior?

Hi there
Another defect : When running as a VM in VMWARE the Windows update screen wouldn't do anything -- the system didn't freeze and I could leave the settings screen but bit silly if update isn't working.

On a Linux Host using KVM (Hypervisor rather akin to HYPER-V) Windows update screen functioned correctly -- I'm beginning to get a bit fed up with the battle with VMWare every time windows does a major update -- KVM works a treat although a bit complex to set it up if you aren't an experienced Linux user.

Still language settings change problem though -- locks when you get into "advanced" features when you want to set display / logon screen and welcome messages to your chosen language.

Cheers

If so many issues persist, I would suggest using a stable windows version with latest update, rather than battling with insider issues on your production machine.
On my pc though, most everything does work fine, and stable as well, so i will continue to run insider, albeit always keeping a backup with macrium reflect

Just realized that I am experiencing the same issue/phenomenon in regular Windows 17763.253. I have searched hither and yon, but can find no insight - anyone have a clue?

I've got 18312.1001 coming in now! They released it a few minutes before 1:00 EST...
