    How disable the feature task that clean and update registry files ?


    Windows 10 has a internall feature that clean and update registry files.
    That feature is done one time a each week and allways few minutes after that the system was started.

    In Event Log has the follow logs :

    The access history in hive \??\C:\Windows\AppCompat\Programs\Amcache.hve was cleared updating 12 keys and creating 2 modified pages
    The access history in hive \??\C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\Settings\s ettings.dat was cleared updating 4 keys and creating 1 modified pages
    The access history in hive \??\C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat was cleared updating 2240512 bytes and final size 2236416 bytes
    The access history in hive \??\C:\Users\X\ntuser.dat was cleared updating 876 keys and creating 138 modified pages
    The access history in hive \SystemRoot\System32\config\DRIVERS was cleared updating 6 keys and creating 5 modified pages
    The access history in hive \SystemRoot\System32\Config\BBI was cleared updating 5 keys and creating 1 modified pages
    The access history in hive \??\C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\NTUSER.DAT was cleared updating 23 keys and creating 9 modified pages
    The access history in hive \??\C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\NTUSER.DAT was cleared updating 30 keys and creating 12 modified pages
    The access history in hive \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SAM was cleared updating 65 keys and creating 7 modified pages
    The access history in hive \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY was cleared updating 77 keys and creating 5 modified pages
    The access history in hive \SystemRoot\System32\Config\DEFAULT was cleared updating 178 keys and creating 18 modified pages
    The access history in hive \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE was cleared updating 54595584 bytes and final size 54571008 bytes

    Not changes are done in system or install new programs. Useless.
    Eache time that is done the feature is writed more of 120 MB in disk one time in each week.
    Windows read, clean and write all files in disk.
    Problem for SSD disks.

    How is possible disable or configure that "feature" ?
    Thanks for reply.

    Can you give us a name for that feature and where it's located?

    Everything I've ever heard about registry cleaning says not to do it, so I'm surprised that Windows would have it.

    Aha, Aug! I think you're referring to "Storage Sense", i.e. Windows can automatically free up space by getting rid of files you don't need, like temporary files and content in your recycle bin.

    You can turn Storage Sense on or off; I have mine off, because I have plenty of space on my computer. And yeah, once your drives are "cleaned", there's generally not much to be cleaned on a weekly basis.

    Open Settings>System>Storage and check to see if Storage Sense is on or off. If it's on, that's probably your problem; if it shows as off, probably not.

    Do You mean Disk Cleanup? It's been around since the early days of Windows.

    Could be, but it's being deprecated:

    It's still usable, as far as I know.

    I'm not sure this is a scheduled task, it seems more to be a routine part of the normal operation of the registry. For my machines it happens every day at no particular time.

    For those who want to look at this in the event log on their own machines the event described by the OP is:
    Log Name: System
    Source: Kernel-General
    Event ID: 16

    Event ID 15, seems to be a related event. Filtering the System event log by 'source: Kernel-General' seems to be the best way to get an overview of what is going on as it will include system shutdown/startup events.
