    Hi Luke,

    Thanks for your post. Please try to open services.msc > go to Storage Service > right-click > Properties > change the Startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start) > OK > then on left side select Start the service.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue

    Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run menu.

    Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

    In the Group Policy Editor window, navigate to the following location:

    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Storage Sense

    Look for the policy named "Allow Storage Sense."

    Double-click the "Allow Storage Sense" policy.

    If the policy is set to "Disabled," change it to "Enabled."

    Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

    When I go to enable storage service to Automatic (Delayed Start) in services it will stay enabled for 24 hours then it will go back in to disabled mode by itself every time I go to use the computer every day?
