Resolution

OnGuard installer detects the Windows Storage Sense feature: The OnGuard installer detects if the Microsoft Windows Storage Sense feature is enabled, and requires you to disable the following Windows settings before installing OnGuard: 

• "Storage Sense" (All supported Windows versions) 

• "Keep Windows running smoothly by automatically cleaning up temporary system and app files" (Windows 11 and later) 

• "Delete temporary files that my apps aren't using" (Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10) 


You must turn off these settings from Settings > System > Storage > Storage Sense, then retry the installation. Re-enabling these settings after the installation is complete can cause issues with subsequent installation modifications as they may remove files that are required later. If you encounter this issue during a modified installation, you should uninstall OnGuard, turn these settings off, and then reinstall OnGuard with the desired features.
