Hi, PlayerMurphy!

I'm Claudio, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Let me try to help you today!

Well, there are some methods you can take to try to solve that issue, check them out and see if they help you fixing the problem:

• Delete temp files

As a computer runs programs, temporary files are stored on the hard drive. Deleting these temp files help improve computer performance.

First, I suggest using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility to delete temporary files and other files no longer needed on the computer.

Unfortunately, the Disk Cleanup may not delete every file in the temp directory. Therefore, I also suggest deleting temporary files manually.

1- Open the Start menu or and press the Windows key, then type %temp% in the Search field.

2- Press Enter and a Temp folder should open.

3- You can delete all files found in this folder and, if any files are in use and cannot be deleted, they can be skipped.

Really hope it helps!

Wish you the best,
