Disable Low disk Space warning in windows 10

While Microsoft has come a long way with its technology updates every now and then, there are certain things that can be really annoying. One of them is, the “Low Disk Space” alert that warns you when the hard drive is almost full or about to run out of space. Although this can be useful for many who don’t keep a track of their disk space, the continuous reminder can get frustrating over a period of time.

The balloon notification with the disk space warning is scheduled for specific duration for each Windows version. For Windows 10, it’s set to pop up every ten minutes with the notification visible for ten seconds. The pop up can show any one of the below warnings in three different levels:

  • You are running out of disk space
  • You are running very low on disk space
  • You have run out of disk space

Let’s see how to get rid of this “Low Disk Space” alert on Windows 10.

Step 1: Press the Windows key + R together on the keyboard to open the Run box. Type Regedit in the search box to open the Registry Editor.

Step 2: In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the below path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

 

Step 3: Now, go to the Current Version folder on the left, expand it, scroll down to find the key named Policies. Expand it to see if there’s a subkey called Explorer under it. If there is, right-click on the empty pane on the right > New > DWOD (32-bit) Value.
