HOW ABOUT DISABLING IT YE FUCKING ZOOMER RETARD

Method 1: Using Control Panel

Press Windows + S, type Control Panel, and open it.

Set View by to Small icons or Large icons.

Click File History.

If it’s turned on, you’ll see a Turn off button — click it.

That’s it! File History will stop backing up your files.
Method 2: Using Group Policy (for Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions)

Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter.

Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File History

Double-click Turn off File History.

Select Enabled, then click OK.

This disables the feature system-wide.
Method 3: Using the Registry (for all editions)

Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory

If the FileHistory key doesn’t exist, right-click Windows, choose New > Key, and name it FileHistory.

In the right pane, right-click and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name it Disabled and set its value to 1.

Restart your PC to apply the change.

I'm pretty sure there's a setting for that in the menu besides checking the 2 boxes. Should be in settings, personalization, start, and show recently opened items in jump lists. Disable that.

Don't do this. It makes mustard gas.

Mustard is delicious. Did you know ketchup used to be grey and made from mushrooms?
