HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager

I guess they fixed it in Windows 11. The group policy is not working in 21H2. I haven't tested the group policy in 22H2. But I know the old registry key does not work in 21H2.

Windows 10 2004 has a bug and will occasionally not honor this setting. Weird.

We previously used Acronis, but it was not reliable enough. This may have changed - I don't know. Macrium has never failed us and it's a lot less expensive and well supported.
