Hi, as the title say: do you guys know a way to disable it and save up 7gb? I tried the regedit method but it didn't work (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ReserveManager and set ShippedWithReserves to 0). Is there a way to disable it via gpedit or cmd? Thanks!

If upgrading from 1809 to 1903 the reserved storage space feature will stay disabled but if you did a clean install last i knew there was no way to disable it.

Edit 2: Just read you have to wait until the next upgrade cycle for the change to take affect.

Edit: Checked up on it, you need to be signed into a Administrator account for the change in the registry to take affect after a reboot.

It shouldn't matter. In general terms, 19H2 is considered an upgrade.

The recent cumulative update for 1903 activated the registry change regarding Reserved Storage Space.
