Windows 10: disk cleanup GO AWAY

does anyone get the disk cleanup tool pop up on its own once a day around a certain time?
it does for me and i cant work out why




:)

 

Windows.old folder

If left untouched it will go away by itself after 10 days or you run Disk Cleanup and select 'Cleanup system files.'

 

don't want to install windows 10 yet

Where do I find the update files? I've done the disk cleanup thing but the files were still there when I finished. They won't go away!

 

Do you have anything in task scheduler that corresponds with the time?

Here I mean:
Attachment 13208

 

have checked and nothing there that points to disk cleaner tool

 

If you can't see cleanmgr.exe under the actions tab of any of the scheduled tasks you could look for the last run time just in case you have some other task scheduled which then calls it. I don't know any other way it can be scheduled I'm afraid.

 

You need to check Microsoft tasks listed bellow standard tasks.

 

nothing here. i guess its possible that im accidentally nudging a key short cut

 

I mean, click on the arrows to roll down the tree like in explorer, MS tasks are listed separately.
I think, that Disc Cleanup might also listed under Maintenance or elsewhere, I always remove it.

 

Try using Autoruns to locate the startup for cleanmgr.exe
It's free from here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.../bb963902.aspx
