[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1024964"] Yes, but I run this regedit tweak also on my wife's laptop with no problems (upgraded from Windows11 22H1 to 22H2). I split the SSD into 2 partitions (one for Programs 64 GB and one for Data the rest of the 512 GB SSD) just to make sure the Data disk had the most free space. [SPOILER="Registry tweak on Home"] Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\RemovableStorageDevices] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\RemovableStorageDevices\{53f5630d-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}] "Deny_Execute"=dword:00000001 [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
