Personally, I have never seen this many issues with Windows like today. Even way back in the Windows Vista days. Woah, Windows Vista will be 20 years old in November…
If you are forced to still be on Windows 11.
This file can be found in the following directory,
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\CapabilityAccessManager\
Then see if it shows a huge file size.
Windows Latest found that one particular file called “CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal” can use most of your system storage.
If your PC is affected, the safest fix is to install Windows 11 KB5095093 from Windows Update, or wait for the July 2026 Patch Tuesday update, where the fix is expected to roll out automatically.
Hmmm. Let me check to see if I’m affected/infected.
Nope! No windows anymore. All good.
Also on linux myself, but clearly I still have this issue
What do you use, btw
Mint, Bazzite and Debian
We know it isn’t Arch because they world have already told us.
I use CachyOS.
Which is based on Arch btw…
