Once a user knows that The Downloads Folder is checked, they just have to uncheck it. This information should not have been withheld by Microsoft. The one thing that MS is very good at is keeping their customers uninformed and forced to rely on third party sources to get any kind of info on anything.
It's not withheld. But the decision to include a user folder in the system cleanup options is incorrect.
If you use the tool you should ensure the checkboxes meet your requirements. Some users will delete the contents of the folder and only realise the consequences of their action when they click a recent / user file history entry.
I was just reading an blog. it points out that windows 10 doesnt backup the registry to regback folder....even though task scheduler says it complete
chrome or translator needed for site.
Windows 10 doesnt backup the registry.
Yes, @dalchina and I have been investigating this. A month ago dalchina asked me to look into this in 1803 and I reported my test results here...
Windows 10 crashed after update and is now unbootable Solved - Page 3 - Windows 10 Forums...the task now shows a Last Run Time of 7th Oct 2018 at 22:31 and a Last Run Result of (0x0). However the files in RegBack are still zero length and dated 19th July. Basically, it appears this task doesn't do the work it is supposed to do.
My 1809 machines are much the same. The task says it has run successfully, but no backup files have been created. The only difference is that there are no files in C:\Windows\System32\Config\RegBack, not even zero length ones.

cab file links for 17763.107

What's the difference from these and UUP dump (windows10.0-kb4464455-x64.cab), size seems to match.
Ahh, it is same file/hash.
