What MSFT should do is simply have the OS detect how much space the OS has and then flip the switch if the system is say on a 100gb or greater drive but we all know what would happen then…some bunch like CNET would write a clickbait “If you buy one of these you are getting ripped off” (which you are but not because of backups, because those sub 5w Intel Atom chips are just God Awful) because any time they have a…shall we say “low rent” version of Windows it gets slagged, see Vista Basic and Win 7 Starter. They are also trying to compete with Chromebooks, remember? Go look on Amazon and you’ll find a TON of super cheap Win 10 systems that have tiny 32Gb storage space and when you are dealing with systems that small? Every byte counts. In the support article, Microsoft lists methods to reenable registry backups. This might come as a surprise to some, hence it seems prudent to highlight this change. This change is by design, and is intended to help reduce the overall disk footprint size of Windows. To recover a system with a corrupt registry hive, Microsoft recommends that you use a system restore point. Starting in Windows 10, version 1803, Windows no longer automatically backs up the system registry to the RegBack folder. If you browse to to the \Windows\System32\config\RegBack folder in Windows Explorer, you will still see each registry hive, but each file is 0kb in size. It turns out that this is a feature, not a bug, as Microsoft has posted a support document explaining the new behaviour and the reasoning behind it. The scheduled task to create the backups was still running and the run result indicated that the operation completed successfully, but Registry backups were not created anymore. We noticed back in October 2018 that Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system was not creating Registry backups anymore.
