For more info, see How reserved storage works in Windows. The space required to complete a feature update depends on two factors: which update path is followed and the size of optional content and other updates that apply to your PC when the feature update is installed. Windows follows three different feature update paths, depending on the amount of disk space currently available. Windows automatically tries to complete more of the update process in the background while you use your PC.
This significantly reduces the time your PC will be offline or unusable during the update, although it might temporarily use more disk space to complete the update. Learn more about our efforts to reduce offline time during updates English only at this time. For PCs with limited free space but still enough to complete the update automatically. Windows will automatically optimize for reducing the amount of free disk space required to install the update. This will result in a longer offline install time.
For PCs that don't have enough space to automatically install the update. Windows will prompt you to free up disk space or use external storage to temporarily extend the storage on your PC. Across each of these update paths, the total amount of free disk space required will vary, depending on the optional content installed and other updates that apply to your PC. For example:. Optional features. Many optional features available for Windows are pre-installed or acquired on demand by the system, or manually by you.
Languages installed. Windows is localized into many languages. Although many people only use one language at a time, some people switch between two or more languages. Open Language settings During each update, all language resources and any associated typing, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and handwriting recognition resources must be updated. The content for each language can range from about MB to more than MB. Driver updates. OEMs and other hardware partners sometimes publish new graphics, networking, audio, and other drivers in conjunction with the new OS update.
The size of these drivers can vary significantly, depending on your PC and on which drivers have been updated. OS quality updates. During a feature update, Windows tries to download and automatically install the latest quality update so that your PC is fully up to date when you start using it.
Shortly after the feature update is released, the quality update for that feature update could be as small as a few hundred MB, but as more quality and security changes are implemented, the quality update can increase in size to 1 GB or more. If your PC is short on disk space, you can download and install the quality update after the feature update is complete. Finally, Windows Update will temporarily disable hiberfile. Any files that are disabled to apply the update will be automatically re-enabled when the update is complete.

If your Windows account isn't an administrator or if your Steam library is in a location that Steam can't access, Steam won't be able to assess the disk to see how much space remains, and will return an error.
This might be the case with your Steam client as well, and you can go around it by running Steam as administrator. Your Steam library is where the platform stores your games and apps. The files regarding the library and its structure can get corrupted and the corruption can cause Steam to get confused when downloading files.
