As the title says my SSD(c:) is filling up by itself super fast... And when its full, i can still use the pc and such but when i restart the pc it says "Preparing windows Dont turn off PC" indefinitely. And to fix this i have to go into bios and format my SSD. After i format it it works for a while but now it started to fill up again. I have anti virus and anti malware programs.

heres a gif on how fast it fills up after it started to fill up:

Well...your video shows ~2GB free space, on a 120GB SD.
So......

We're just trying to discover what is on it.

Well, that does show your SSD as "full". Like....REALLY full.

As a short term measure, find that 9GB of text docs, and copy to the D drive.

In your WinDirStat...did you actually run that as Administrator?
Because what it is showing is NOT the apparent total drive space.

I'm in the exact same position. Will use my computer with about 50GB free and, albeit not as fast as your computer, it will start filling up untill its got only a 2-3GB left 'available'. Then same as you it shows "Preparing windows Dont turn off PC" when I try to restart. When it finally does decide to restart I'm back to 50GB. Would very much like some help that is more than just you've got a full drive cause it obviously isn't full if when I restart it goes back to its original available space
