如何永久禁用Windows 10中的^{(Windows 10)}文件历史记录^{(File History)}备份

如果要永久禁用Windows 10中的^{(Windows 10)}文件历史记录^{(File History)}工具，则必须更改组策略^{(Group Policy)}和注册表^(Registry)设置。我们将一一介绍以下方法：

1. 使用本地组策略编辑器^{(Local Group Policy Editor)}。
2. 使用注册表编辑器。

1]使用本地组策略编辑器^{(Local Group Policy Editor)}

Windows 10 家庭^(Home)版用户可以跳过此方法，因为Windows 10 家庭^(Home)版不包含本地组策略编辑器^{(Local Group Policy Editor)}。

首先，通过按Win + R运行”^(Run)对话框，然后键入. 之后，按 Enter。gpedit.msc

现在，在本地组策略编辑器^{(Local Group Policy Editor)}中，您必须导航到以下路径：

Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ File History

从左侧窗格中选择文件历史记录。^{(File History)}您将在右侧看到一个名为“关闭文件历史记录”的设置。^{(Turn off File History)}双击它，它将打开一个新窗口。

在关闭^(Turn)文件历史记录^{(File History)}窗口中，通过单击旁边的单选按钮^(Radio)选择已启用选项。^(Enabled)之后，单击Apply，然后单击 OK 以保存您所做的更改。

这将永久禁用文件历史记录^{(File History)}工具，并且任何用户都无法从控制面板^{(Control Panel)}使用此功能。如果更改未在您的系统上生效，请重新启动它。

要恢复更改，请再次重复上述过程并在关闭^(Turn)文件历史记录^{(File History)}窗口中选择禁用^(Disabled)或未配置。^{(Not Configured)}

2]使用注册表编辑器

让我们看看如何使用注册表编辑器禁用^{(Registry Editor)}Windows 10中的^{(Windows 10)}文件历史记录^{(File History)}工具。在继续之前，建议在硬盘驱动器上创建注册表备份^{(create a backup of the Registry on a hard drive)}。这将让您在出现任何问题时恢复注册表^(Registry)。

以下步骤将指导您如何执行此操作：

启动“运行”对话框并输入regedit。之后单击确定。^{(OK. Click Yes)}在UAC窗口中单击是。

在注册表编辑器^{(Registry Editor)}中，您必须转到以下路径：

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

现在，展开Windows键并检查它是否包含FileHistory子键。如果没有，请创建它。为此，右键单击Windows键并选择“ New > Key ”。这将创建一个具有默认名称的新子项。您必须将其名称更改为FileHistory。

选择FileHistory子项并通过右键单击右侧转到“ New > DWORD (32-bit Value)将此新创建的值命名为Disabled。

现在，双击Disabled值并将其值数据从 0 更改为 1。之后，单击 OK 保存所做的更改。

这将永久禁用FileHistory选项。您可以在控制面板^{(Control Panel)}中检查它。如果您没有看到任何更改，请重新启动计算机。

如果您想使用File History，您必须再次启用它。为此，您可以在注册表编辑器中删除^{(Registry Editor)}Disabled值或将其值数据从 1 更改为 0 。

希望这可以帮助。

Disable File History backup in Windows 10 using REGEDIT or GPEDIT

File History is a powerful tool developed by Microsoft that saves the user’s data on an external drive automatically. To use this tool you just have to connect an external hard drive to your computer, add it to File History, and turn the File History ON; and it starts copying the entire data on your computer to the external drive automatically. You can easily enable and disable this tool from the Control Panel. What if you want to disable this tool permanently? In this article, we will show you how to disable File History in Windows 10 permanently.

How to disable File History backup in Windows 10 permanently

If you want to disable the File History tool in Windows 10 permanently, you have to change the Group Policy and Registry settings. We will describe the following methods one by one:

1. Using the Local Group Policy Editor.
2. Using the Registry Editor.

1] Using the Local Group Policy Editor

Windows 10 Home users can skip this method because Windows 10 Home edition does not contain the Local Group Policy Editor.

First, launch the Run dialog box by pressing Win + R keys, then type gpedit.msc. After that, press Enter.

Now, in the Local Group Policy Editor, you have to navigate to the following path:

Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ File History

Select the File History from the left pane. You will see a setting, named Turn off File History on the right side. Double-click on it and it will open a new window.

In the Turn off File History window, select the Enabled option by clicking on the Radio button adjacent to it. After that, click Apply, then OK to save the changes that you have made.

This will disable the File History tool permanently and no user can use this feature from the Control Panel. If the changes do not take effect on your system, restart it.

To revert the changes back, repeat the above procedure again and select Disabled or Not Configured in the Turn off File History window.

2] Using the Registry Editor

Let’s see how you can disable the File History tool in Windows 10 using Registry Editor. Before you proceed, it is recommended to create a backup of the Registry on a hard drive. This will let you restore the Registry in case any problem occurs.

The following steps will guide you on how to do this:

Launch the Run dialog box and type regedit in it. After that click OK. Click Yes in the UAC window.

In the Registry Editor, you have to go to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Now, expand the Windows key and check whether it contains the FileHistory subkey or not. If not, create it. For this, right-click on the Windows key and select “New > Key.” This will create a new subkey with a default name. You have to change its name to FileHistory.

Select the FileHistory subkey and go to “New > DWORD (32-bit Value)” by right-clicking on the right side. Name this newly created value as Disabled.

Now, double-click on the Disabled value and change its value data from 0 to 1. After that, click OK to save the changes that you have made.

This will disable the FileHistory option permanently. You can check it in the Control Panel. If you do not see any changes, restart your computer.

If you want to use File History, you have to enable it again. To do so, you can either delete the Disabled value or change its value data from 1 to 0 in the Registry Editor.

Hope this helps.
