    Hi,

    Since last update KB5015882 there is still 3.87Go when I cleanup system files (in Windows update).
    Tried many times, ran sfc/scannow, even looked in event viewer, maintenance report and did not find anything that could lead to a solution. Laptop is Vivobook S15 X510UAR with 8GB of RAM and NVME SSD. System is Windows 11 pro X64 v.21H2 OS Build 22000.832.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello my dear friend, can you try a reboot and cleanmgr with admin privilege.

    You open cmd on admin and input cleanmgr
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    Finally solved by using again sfc/scannow + reboot. This update KB5015732 was again downloaded and installed and the 3.7GB disappeared by magic :D.
    Thanks for the advices.
