Windows 10: How to setup a warning for low storage?

Dear Windows Experts,When I am running out of storage, things mysteriously start to malfunction. Usually it takes me a while before I find out that the problem is that I am running out of storage. I would like to set up an alarm/warning when I have less than 200 Gb free. I have tried going to the "Storage Sense" section, but I do not find any way to setup such a warning. Is this even possible to do in Windows? I am using:Edition Windows 10 ProVersion 22H2Installed on ‎06/‎12/‎2021OS build 19045.3693Serial number PF37PMVWExperience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0Cheers.

Storage Space shows low capacity warning

Hello Chaeril,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

Windows created the low disk space warning to alert computer users when their hard drive is running low on available disk space. However in your case, the warning itself shows incorrect while there is still space left.

To be able to assist you better please let us know few more details on the below questions.

1. What is the make and the model of your computer?

2. Is the D: drive which you have shared the information about a secondary drive or a primary drive (Windows drive)?

Before proceeding, please check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different user account.

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
  
• 
  In Command prompt type
  sfc/scannow and press enter.
  
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps to employ the DISM command lines:

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  

• 
  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
  

If the above recommendation did not work, I would suggest you to follow the below steps as a work around to stop the Windows notification of low disk space.

• Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box.
• Type in regedit to open the Registry Editor.
• Navigate down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Policies / Explorer
• If the NoLowDiskSpaceChecks key is not there, right-click to create a new DWORD value with that name.
• Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks, enter 1 for the value
• Press OK and exit from REGEDIT.

Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore,
make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following

low storage warning on lumia 950

Assuming everyone installed an SD card to their phone, this is what I came up with:

My wife upgraded from an HTC One M8 (Windows Phone 8.1) to a Lumia 950 and also had a "low storage" warning. After checking out her Lumia 950, I discovered it was automatically installing apps from her prior phone to the main phone memory. When she originally
installed an SD card into the Lumia 950, she selected the option to install apps onto the card. But, her phone ignored that option and installed it on the main memory anyway. The solution is to go to settings and type "storage" - you will go to an area which
shows all your apps. By pressing an app on the list, you can choose between moving or uninstalling the app - choose move and send it to the SD card. It was a LONG process for my wife, but she eventually moved the bulk of her apps to the SD card and the "low
storage" warning went away. Her phone was also able to update after that. Hope this helps!
