You may still run Disk Cleanup or any third-party tool that supports the cleaning of Windows caches to do so. Disabling SilentCleanup may be an option if you don't want Windows to clear the cache automatically. You may disable the entire SilentCleanup task or even Automatic Maintenance in the Task Scheduler. Windows won't delete the cache anymore as part of Automatic Maintenance if you set both entries to 0. Optional: repeat the steps for any other cache listed under VolumeCaches.Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Thumbnail Cache.Set it to 0 to prevent Windows from clearing the cache, or to 1 to allow it to do so.Double-click on the Autorun Dword value.
by clicking on the icon or tapping on the Windows-key on the keyboard. Here is how you configure Windows 10 to block or allow the clearing of the cache: SilentCleanup checks the data of each Autorun Dword value under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\ and HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\ to determine whether it should include that cache in the cleanup operation.Ī value of 0 blocks the maintenance task from deleting the cache, a value of 1 allows it to to so.
