Many times, you may need to check CPU or disk usage information for different reasons, for example, if you want to save more files, a large file, or you just need to know how much storage space is left before you need to clear some space. For this reason, the easiest way to check hard drive usage is through this PC.
When you open File Explorer and open this PC folder, under the Devices and Drives section on the right you can see the different drives, you should see a bar under each drive , this is the disk usage column. However, you can view this bar when it is set to the default view, which is the Tiles view. However, even using the Tiles view, if you don't see the disk usage bar, then something is wrong. While there is another way to check disk usage on your PC (which we’ll discuss later), File Explorer is the fastest and most convenient way.

This PC 文件夹中的驱动器,通常在 Tiles 视图模式下显示三行信息。这包括 - 带有驱动器号的卷标、磁盘空间使用栏和文本信息。由于所有这些信息使卷标太长,它有时会换行到下一行,导致空间不足以显示文本消息。
因此,此方法对于在卷标下方看不到文本消息的情况特别有用。因此,在这种情况下,建议缩短卷标的长度。为此,请按照以下步骤操作:
第 1 步:选择名称较长的驱动器,然后从键盘按 F2。
第 2 步:接下来,选择重命名,现在用更短的名称重命名。
*注意 -此更改通常要求管理权限。只需单击权限框中的继续以继续重命名。
如果您遇到无法查看驱动器属性以及磁盘空间使用栏的情况,则将所有权从 TrustedInstaller 更改为您的用户 ID,然后将权限更改为完全控制可以帮助解决问题。确保首先更改所有权,否则您将无权编辑安全规则。让我们看看如何更改所有权,然后完全控制以可能解决问题:
步骤 1:右键单击驱动器并选择Properties。
第 2 步:在“属性”窗口中,选择“安全”选项卡。
在这里,单击右下角的高级选项卡。
第 3 步:在“高级安全设置”窗口中,导航到左下方,然后单击“更改权限”按钮。
第 4 步:在“高级安全设置”窗口中,转到“所有者”字段并单击蓝色的“更改”链接。
第 5 步:当 Select User or Group 对话框弹出时,单击Advanced。
第 6 步:在下一个窗口中,单击“立即查找”按钮。
您现在将在“搜索结果”字段中看到一个列表。
在这里,选择您的用户名,然后按OK。
第 7 步:您现在将返回到小的 Select User or Group 对话框,然后按 OK。
第 8 步:返回“高级安全设置”窗口,按“应用”,然后按“确定”应用更改并返回“属性”窗口。
第 9 步:在安全选项卡下,在组或用户名字段中,选择您的用户名,然后单击下面的编辑按钮。
第 10 步:现在,转到下面的“权限”字段,在“完全控制”旁边,选中“允许”下的框。
点击应用按钮,然后点击确定以保存更改并退出。
现在,在“文件资源管理器”>“这台电脑”中检查您是否可以查看驱动器属性和磁盘空间使用栏。
此方法适用于 Windows 8,现在也适用于 Windows 11,尽管在选项的位置处有一点点。您需要做的就是启用 Percentage full 列,它会在驱动器旁边显示磁盘使用情况栏。以下是启用百分比完整列的方法:
步骤 1:导航到任务栏上的 Windows 图标(开始),右键单击它并选择文件资源管理器以打开文件资源管理器。
第 2 步:在文件资源管理器窗口中,单击左侧的此 PC快捷方式
现在,在窗格的右侧,单击右上角的View选项卡并选择Details。
