Hi there,
I revealed such strange bug concerning space determination on Windows 10.
The value that is showed in free device space area is wrong.

No it is not wrong.
It all depends on what 1K is.. 1000 or 1024 bytes
But you can change that in ExplorerPanel settings in the Layout tab. There is a section for the Free space area

I've already suggested using Decimal/Binary prefixes.

1 kilo == 1000
1 kibi == 1024

1 kilo can't be 1024.

Ok, I knew about this duality but miscalculated the difference.
But binary prefix is de-facto standard in IT field. I assume it should be set in preferences by default.
