Always inform about your Excel version, operating system, storage medium/hard drive, OneDrive, Sharepoint, etc.).

NikolinoDEHello! I'm not sure how you got my post because it was registry query meant for OS teckies. I probably hit a couple wrong buttons. May have left a trail everywhere in my quest for an answer. I would guess you are an Excel expert. While no kind of expert, I used to train government SES types in D.C. That said I think you may know something about Windows 10 Pro OS. If not, you might forward this to someone you know who does. I got nowhere with Just answer. Spent a bunch! No one there could figure it out. Thank you for your time, be well.
There is a file that windows 10 creates & saves every time it shuts down. I have ended up with thousands of these "daily records". Someone once told me the steps to take in regedit to stop the daily save and where to go to delete all these files, and somehow lost it. I am looking for the steps in regedit to set this process to stop. It's a single command line in Regedit that goes al the way down to setting a value of yes or no. I am also in need of the location of these files and their names. Last time there were thousands of them created through five years of computer use. Now, these files have built up again and my computer is DRAGGING. I am told Windows reads all of these files every time I hit enter. This time, I'm going to write things down. Please Help!

email address removed for privacy reasonsFirst of all, I recommend you to ask your question in this forum, as it is a Windows question :).
It's an Excel forum, but it might help if you describe the problem in more detail.
What are the files called? or what endings do they have? Any message displayed?
Which Windows version (command: winver) are you using?
There are a number of registry entries in Windows where a program can be hidden that should be started when the system starts.
But you can open the task manager with [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Esc] and see what's running.
The "Applications" and "Processes" tabs are interesting.
You can also deactivate the processes from the auto start in the task manager when you start the PC.
If anything suspicious is found there, we can then try looking for it in the registry if it's not in the startup folder.
You could then simply call up the program (Windows + G) and switch off the recording there (Adjust background recording settings on Windows).
FYI, I'm a simple user like many others here on the forum, just trying to learn and share my knowledge if desired :).
Thank you for your understanding and patience
