HDD activity by explorer.exe (free space check?)

Hi.

Windows 8.1 x64 installed on SSD Kingston 120G and WD 750G as storage. Disabled almost all writing/reading issues except last one - explorer.exe constantly every 10 minutes checking every volume, probably disk space checking.

Changing well-known registry value HCU\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer does nothing, also procmon shows that explorer checking another value - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DiskSpaceChecking\TestLowStorageStateOnSystemVolume which by default not exists. Created these key and value and tried to change 0 to 1 and v/v with no luck.

Found ref to TestLowStorageStateOnSystemVolume inside cleanmgr.exe file only.

Any ideas how to disable these checks? Untitled102030.png

Delete the task located in Microsoft scheduled tasks. Not sure where exactly, I delete it after setup.
Check DiskCleanup, DiskFootprint or Maintenance, I know for sure, it is there, a description said so.

Thank you, worked. I've disabled much of these tasks before, but seems they need to be fully deleted from task list.

Yes, when disabled they re-enable themselves, actually even when deleted they re-appear sometimes. :mad:
