Windows File Explorer Not Showing Correct Folder Size If Folder Named 'Applications'

im not sure why you would say "This issue was resolved long ago.  Not sure why people are still posting about this but most likely because they don't have latest version of Windows 10?"

it was never resolved, people are posting about it because there is still the issue, (until version 1903)

how do you know? you seems to be assuming its fixed. just because 1 or 2 folders you tested are calculating the correct size, doesnt mean its fixed

i know this wasnt fixed in version 1809 because ive got a harddrive that is 1tb big and shows 4tb of files and folders (yes impossible) i did a clean install with 1803 and 1809, and it still showed the incorrect value, i tested on my other computers with 1809 and all 3 showed the wrong numbers. i did a clean install of windows 7 and it worked correct. microsoft only just released to the public 1903, i installed that and it finally works, so i dont know how you did your testing, but i know for a fact it wasnt fixed in 1809, also there feedback hub had a report from microsoft saying it will be fixed in 1903

this problem should now be fixed when you update to 1903, its a slow rollout though

It doesn't help to be "resolved" long ago if it isn't released to mainstream users. I have version 1809 (build 17763.529) and all cumulative updates installed as of today. Problem still exists.

I wouldn't consider insider releases or brand new mainstream releases to be a "long ago" fix if the majority can't use it without switching to "beta tester" status.

I have a slightly older version (build 1809 17763.503 and it is working on mine?  It could have something to do with the windows driver's or the motherboard firmware, I updated both at the time of the problem so was never sure what fixed it?

Thank you for posting the reply.

I ran the script ages ago (was it from Win10forums?) that uninstalls all built in win10 apps except "store"

As a result I can no longer open the Feedback Hub, it runs as a proprietary app.

It's a small price to pay for being permanently rid of Photos, TV and Movies, Groove, all their BS apps that only exist to stimulate your addiction centers and grab your cash in a moment of weakness. 

True, I had to install Youcam because Camera was gone, VLC to cover movies and music.

It's not a perfect solution but it's (as I said) a small price to pay.

I'd be willing to give MS a few bucks for this OS, but I'll bet that within a few years they'll start to realize that having access to every move we make and all our "personal data" wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and that all they accomplished was to give away a free OS while receiving virtually nothing of value in return.

Someone mentioned that 1903 fixed the folder size issue, and I also read that 1903 allows the uninstall of Movies&TV and a few other apps. We'll see :)
