Yes their app and it's in use on my PC only. I don't think native support on OS/router/browser is coming anytime soon as Adguard is the first one to do so. It may take a while for it to become common.

Same also. Why, where does it go? It's not even due to a cumulative update, though yesterday for Insiders build 19042.610, Disk Cleanup claimed 4.27 GB of space could be recovered but ultimately only got back 3 GB. Still out the same amt total as you: 4GB and TreeSize doesn't yield a clue this time.
:"System Reserved" which is usually around 7 GB was deleted long ago.

What's going on! I disabled system reserved on mine as Windows keeps this space so that the system don't run out of space while updating but I always have more than 25 gb free on drive C so I don't need it.
Same here on disk cleanup. It cleans less than it actually shows it's capable of. This is probably true on every system. But where's the rest is going! Who's eating that!
Funny how nowadays people care about such things. Did that really matter?What's going on! I disabled system reserved on mine as Windows keeps this space so that the system don't run out of space while updating but I always have more than 25 gb free on drive C so I don't need it.

In my opinion it isn't until the system run stable.

It matters because, even though I have enough space on drive C, some other users may not. I have system reserved storage disabled but if that was enabled I would have a red mark on C drive now in File explorer which is not something I would like to see daily. There must be some explanation what Windows is doing with that space so it's worth investigating.
Well i don't disable that feature and my Windows folder use only 19,0GB on a ~232GB SSD
Well....I look at it this way: if you had five dollars in your pocket and then went to take the money out and you discovered you only had four dollars and fifty cents, wouldn't you seriously wonder about that?
It's not that one can't spare those GBs of space, it's more like: hey wait, where are my GBs, Microsoft? Give them back, you didn't have my permission!

You can be the sleuth, it’s not like M$ has a clue where that space is going. I have had this issue before. For some inexplicable reason space evaporates.

Mine's even less with 16.4 gb for the Windows folder with update files deleted via disk cleanup/storage.

First of all thanks for teaching me a new word. I didn't know the meaning of sleuth. Turns out there's even a 1972 movie with the name with 96% rating on rotten tomatoes starring My Cocaine oops! I mean Michael Caine.
I haven't managed to find what's causing this yet. Maybe it's dark matter. We can only feel its present but can't detect

Dark Matter has been cancelled. His Dark Materials can be found on HBO. BTW the latter is very good!

I thought of watching His Dark Materials last year but forgot about it. The Queen's Gambit is on my list next. After that I'll watch that.Dark Matter has been cancelled. His Dark Materials can be found on HBO. BTW the latter is very good!

Disabled Adguard Home. It's crashing twice a day at least. Not related to DNS over QUIC. The Adguard Home service itself is the problem. So using NextDNS with their official app now. So far so good. If any problem occurs, I'll switch back to Adguard DNS.

Final update of 2020.
Freshly installed Windows and installed Windows 10 Enterprise this time and Set "Allow Telemetry" to "0 - Security" from Group Policy which only works in Windows 10 Enterprise edition.
Local Group Policy Editor > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds > Allow Telemetry.
Because of it I haven't use any third party tools to minimize telemetry this time and used the built-in Privacy Settings to modify some things. Uninstalled most of the pre-installed crapware from disk using O&O AppBuster and HiBit Uninstaller.

Nice config but consider using a standard user account because max UAC as administrator it's not enough to prevent the most sophisticated bypasses.

You're right. But I'm used to using Administrator Account so not switching to standard. Besides, I'm knowledgeable enough to keep myself away from getting infected and as you can see other hardened solutions are already applied to the system. So, I feel safe with this config.
