Windows 10 Automatically Compressing FIX
26Windows 10 Automatically Compressing FIX
Your computer may be compressing files if its hard disk is running out of space (especially, if the OS is creating space for the new Windows updates). Moreover, the corrupt icon cache database may show the double-blue arrows on the files/folders, making the user think that the compression is enabled.
The issue arises when the user notices 2 blue arrows on the top right of the folders (e.g., the Desktop folder) or the system drive and on checking find outs the contents to be compressed (every new file/folder created/added to the folder/drive is automatically compressed) and when he decompresses the contents, on the reboot, the contents are compressed again.
