Disk Space Usage Bar Missing in This PC<\/h2>\n

Step 1: Reset “This PC” Folder Views<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Open File Explorer and click This PC.<\/li>\n
  2. From the File menu, click Change folder and search options.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the View tab and click Reset Folders.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This resets the This PC view to defaults. Close and open This PC. If that doesn’t help, use these steps:<\/p>\n

    Step 2: Fix the TileInfo registry value for Drives<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Click Start, type Regedit.exe,<\/b> and press ENTER<\/kbd>.<\/li>\n
    2. Go to the following branch:\n
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Drive<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
    3. In the right pane, double-click TileInfo<\/code> registry value and set its value data to:\n
      prop:*System.PercentFull;System.Computer.DecoratedFreeSpace;System.Volume.FileSystem<\/pre>\n
      Note: If the TileInfo<\/code> value is missing, create the value of type String (REG_SZ<\/code>) and set the value data as above.<\/li>\n
    4. Exit the Registry Editor. Open This PC. The disk space usage bar should display now.
      \n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Disk space usage info (text) missing?<\/h2>\n
      Here is a variation of the above problem. The disk space usage bar may be present, but the free space information (text) may be missing underneath the bar. This is due to a long Volume label, which occupies two rows of the tile.<\/p>\n
      \"disk
      \nIf the above is the case, right-click on the drive and choose Properties. Keep the volume label short, occupying only one row in the tile.<\/p>\n
      \"disk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
