Windows 11 bug hogging over 70GB of SSD storage, Microsoft confirms

Microsoft has acknowledged a bug in Windows 11 related to the Capability Access Manager (camsvc) that causes significant storage issues for users. The bug leads to an abnormal increase in the size of the CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal SQLite Write-Ahead Log file, which typically should be a few megabytes but has been reported to grow to 70-80 GB, and in some cases, over 200 GB or even up to 500 GB. This growth depletes available SSD space without any new files being added by users. The issue was highlighted by a user on the Microsoft Q&A forum, prompting others to check their disk space and find similar problems. Additionally, Windows Storage Settings misreported capacity usage. Microsoft confirmed the bug and released a hotfix in the KB5095093 update, urging users to install it to prevent further expansion of the log file.

Marvel Rivals has upset players yet again with some peculiar balances that buff some of the strongest heroes

The release of season 9 for Marvel Rivals has led to significant player dissatisfaction due to a patch that many consider unnecessary. The update aimed to enhance several heroes, including Cyclops, Gambit, Black Widow, Invisible Woman, Jubilee, Rocket Raccoon, and Ultron, but has drawn criticism for potentially prioritizing excitement over balance. Players have expressed frustration on social media, particularly regarding the buffing of characters like Gambit, who has been a permanent ban in ranked play for four seasons. The patch also adjusted the healing capabilities of Strategists, reducing energy conversion efficiency to 70%, while Vanguards and Duelists saw a 15% decrease. The community is calling for a return to gameplay that emphasizes skill rather than chaotic power dynamics.
