Hi,
When Windows updates are being installed, they can temporarily consume a large amount of disk space. This includes downloading the update files, creating backups, and installing the updates. Once the update process is complete, some of this space may be freed up.
Temporary files, cache, and other system files can also cause fluctuations in available disk space. These files are often created and deleted by various applications and system processes.
