    Storage Sense registry entries do not match info in win10 settings app


    I am trying to create my own PowerShell script, which configure fresh Win10 installation according my own personal preferences. There are very good examples out there on Github, which I am using as pattern:

    GitHub - farag2/Windows-10-Setup-Script: Script to setup Windows 10 1903/1909
    GitHub - Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script: PowerShell script for automation of routine tasks done after fresh installations of Windows 10 / Server 2016 / Server 2019

    In particular, I am trying to configure Storage Sense settings via PowerShell script. On internet there are 3 ways described, which can be used to set-up Storage Sense:

    • Windows 10 Settings App
    • Using Group Policy
    • Using registry entries

    What I noticed is, that changing the registry entries has no effect to information displayed in Windows 10 Settings app. The settings app displays its own information, which is stored somewhere else and is independent on the registry entries. Only, if the information in the settings app is changed, the change is reflected to the registry entries. However it doesn't work otherwise. Any change in the registry entries doesn't have effect on the information displayed in the settings app. Even restart of the PC doesn't update the displayed information in the settings app according the registry entries. I have tested this behaviour with all Storage Sense relevant entries.

    This is a little bit annoying. Running such scripts leaves the user with no possibility to find out, which settings are really effective. Is there any possibility to script corresponding values in the Windows 10 settings app as well?

    Miscellaneous Registry entries?

    W1zzard: Miscellaneous Registry entries?

    For W1zzard,

    *Respect :respect:

    What are the registry entry names and data types for the Miscellaneous entries:

    Currently selected Catalyst A.I. level, and Geometry Instancing Enabled?

    I can't find anything that looks like those that are defined in that registry key, and I have to manually set them everytime I reboot my PC. *Frown Storage Sense registry entries do not match info in win10 settings app :(

    It would be nice to be able to keep them set across reboots. *Smile Storage Sense registry entries do not match info in win10 settings app :)

    Or are they taken care in version 0.25b11? I'm currently using 0.24.

    What is STORAGE SENSE?

    Hi Taffy087

    Storage sense automatically removes temporary files etc. when disk space is getting low.

    1) yes, as space is getting low on the system disk, although at that stage it hadn't done anything it is turned off by default but was suggesting you turn it on.

    2) it is new with windows 10, but if you were not low on space you may not have known about it. It will eventually replace the disk clean-up.

    3) you can safely remove everything listed in storage sense.

    windows.old contains details of the previous build and is only required if you opt to roll back within 10 days of installing a feature update - if you don't need to roll back or it has been more than 10 days, you can safely delete it.
