Storage Sense is a new feature that came with Windows 10 and tries to delete temp folders or unused OneDrive data. The feature is good but sometimes some programs, probably not that good designed programs create files in the user’s temp folder and do not function properly after those files get deleted by Storage Sense feature.

So in order to disable the feature, here are some registry keys and GPOs that might help you:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\StorageSense\Parameters\StoragePolicy
DWORD 04 Value 0

Group Policy:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Storage Sense > Allow Storage Sense Temporary Files cleanup and set to disabled.

Here are 2 quick lines of code that help you uninstall a Program:

$Prog = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object{$_.Name -match “ProgramName”}
$Prog.Uninstall()

If you need to deploy a MS Store App for example through Intune or GPO, here is my script:

First of all you need the App ID of the store app. Go to https://apps.microsoft.com/ search for the app and select it. In the URL you will see something like this: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nw77489ngj0?hl=en-us&gl=US. 9nw77489ngj0 is the App ID.

Now the script:

Start-Transcript -Path “C:\3cx_msstore.log”

$appid=”9NW77489NGJ0″

winget install -e –id $appid –source msstore –accept-source-agreements –accept-package-agreements

winget upgrade –id $appid

Stop-Transcript

A follow-up on the last post here is another way to run msiexec through PowerShell.

For example, here is how you can install OCS inventory agent with some parameters. OCS is an open source inventarization system.

Start-Process -FilePath .\OCS-Windows-Agent-Setup-x64.exe -ArgumentList ‘/S /NOSPLASH /NOW /SERVER=https://inventory.ajni.it//ocsinventory /TAG=”a” /SSL=0’
