average size of winsxs windows 7 64-bit
On my work computer, windows 7 pro 64-bit, which i have no admin control over, the winsxs folder is 20GB in size.
On one of my personal computers that have admin privilege to run disk cleanup on, as of 12/20/2017 the winsxs folder on that is 10GB in size, and I have done all the cleanup I can with the disk Cleanup tool - system files. If I try to do the
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
or
dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded
both give me an error code 87 and I do not have the "windows update cleanup" checkbox in the disk cleanup utility.
so what is the typical size one should expect winsxs to be ?
I read that "installing programs" causes winsxs to be larger in size, is that true that simply installing programs will do that and if so how much or what is the correlation of installed program to size in in winsxs? For example some < 2mb freeware program vs a 2gb game or CAD program install.
