    I was of the understanding it compresses non essential system files but I could be mistaken.

    Once compressed via the 'Extended Cleanup' method (in prep for making a custom install ISO), is there an easy way to decompress them to improve system speed again?

    Hello PhoenixCodes, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    You can compress and uncompress the OS as wanted.

    cleanmgr.exe long freeze solved


    Hi,
    From long-long time ago I fight against a some kind of a strange behavior of cleanmgr.exe (from W7 until W10). I tried everything to fix this issue without success.
    For no apparent reason, cleanmgr.exe start to begin to put it self at background, some time disappears and reappears, and freeze or take long time to finish.
    But the most weird thing is, all this happens if I don't touch the keyboard and the mouse. If I move de cursor over and around the Disk Cleanup's window or I click over the windows or put the cursor over the window and press some key, the program runs fine and quick.I search the web for this symptoms and found other people with the same problem without a working solution.
    Then I remember a CMD tool from Nirsoft: nircmd.exe. This tool can send keystrokes and cursor movements to the Windows desktop. So, I create a small bath script to execute cleanmgr.exe and using nircmd.exe: put the cursor over the title bar of Disk Cleanup and send some shift clicks every half second.
    This isn't a definitive solution but solve my problem with cleanmgr.exe strange behavior.
    Code:
    StartX /NOUI /REALTIME "cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:65535"
    :LOOP
    <nul (set /p x=.)
    nircmd.exe win activate title "Disk Cleanup"
    nircmd.exe setcursorwin 175 10
    nircmd.exe sendkeypress shift
    Sleep -m 500
    tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq cleanmgr.exe" | find /I "cleanmgr.exe" >nul 2>&1
    if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (goto :LOOP)
    echo DONE
    StartX (Naughter Software) and Sleep are external CMD tools.

    I ran Option 2 successfully 4 weeks ago.

    Today, with the green progress bar near the end, I had a Notification about virus protection.

    I was 99.83% sure that the Notification was caused by me, so I immediately disabled Controlled Folder Access. I assumed that the cleanup was writing to files.

    There was some further progress with the cleanup, then hung for 10 minutes. So I typed Exit, closed the console, re-opened it, and retyped the command. I only got as far as "Windows update log files" and it hung there for 10 minutes. I rebooted, and tried again. Still hung on Windows update log files.

    To answer your question: Yes, I turned CFA back on

    Thanks

    Hello @Brink ,

    Just a quick question please.

    If you were to run for example cleanmgr /sageset:9999, there is a Window that opens that allows you to either Check / Uncheck items. That is obviously a one time setup, because from then on, you would just run cleanmgr /sagerun:9999.

    I Exported the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches Key items and created the below, which will automatically replace running cleanmgr /sageset:9999 . . .

    Code:
    
    REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Active Setup Temp Folders“ /v “StateFlags9999“ /t REG_DWORD /d 00000002 /f

    REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Windows Upgrade Log Files“ /v “StateFlags9999“ /t REG_DWORD /d 00000002 /f

    My question is, why are there items in the above that are NOT in the Window when running cleanmgr /sageset:9999 please.

    Thanks.

    Hello @Paul Black,

    I believe it will only show items that there's something to clean up from.
