Microsoft has acknowledged a bug in Windows 11 that is causing a system service to abnormally consume large amounts of storage, leaving many users with drastically depleted Solid-State Drive (SSD) capacity.
The software giant confirmed that the flaw is in the Capability Access Manager (camsvc), a service responsible for managing app permissions for hardware such as cameras, microphones, location tracking and other system resources.
The glitch causes extreme growth of a SQLite Write-Ahead Log file named CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal.
