Windows 11 storage bug swallows hundreds of GBs; patch KB5095093 fixes it

A Windows 11 bug can inflate the System or System & reserved storage by hundreds of gigabytes due to the CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal write-ahead log. Check via Settings > System > Storage (Show more categories) or use a Robocopy check of the CapabilityAccessManager folder to see if the wal file has ballooned. Microsoft has released KB5095093 with builds 26200.8737 and 26100.8737 to fix disk-space usage; the update is available through Windows Update optional updates or in the July Patch Tuesday rollout.

Windows 11 storage bug can eat up to 500GB—how to check and fix

A Windows 11 bug in the Capability Access Manager can balloon its database file (CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal) to hundreds of gigabytes, potentially filling drives and slowing the system. It’s not obvious from the usual storage view, so use disk-space tools like TreeSize, WinDirStat, or WizTree (or run a robocopy check) to locate the large file. Microsoft has a fix in the June 2026 optional update KB5095093, with full rollout slated for July Patch Tuesday; install via Windows Update → Advanced options → Optional updates. Do not delete or uninstall the component while the fix is pending.

Rethink Your Olive Oil: 11 Mistakes That Dull Flavor

A panel of olive-oil experts debunks common consumer mistakes—from storing near heat and light, to using the wrong containers, misreading labels, and mistaking 'first cold press' for quality. Freshness, proper packaging, and third-party certification matter more than price or color; EVOO should be treated as a finishing, flavor-enhancing ingredient, not a neutral cooking oil; avoid bulk purchases and open bottles quickly (3–4 months).
