@Raphire Sorry for the confusion with the messy commit history. I forgot to pull the latest changes and created this branch from an outdated state that still contained my previous merged Modern Standby commits. The actual backup notifications implementation is clean and follows the same patterns as the previous PR. Feature is ready for review; just ignore the duplicate commits from the earlier PR. |

@SashankBhamidi No wories about the extra commits, that's what you get when squashing PR's Thanks again for working on yet another nice feature. I am conflicted however if this is something that warrants being a separate option. I feel like it could work being a part of the catch-all Disable_Windows_Suggestions.reg. There's some overlap with some of the keys already in there. |
|
Right, @Raphire. Backup notifications are essentially Microsoft suggestions, so consolidating under DisableSuggestions makes perfect UX sense. I'll add the backup notification registry entries directly to the existing Disable_Windows_Suggestions.reg. |
|
@Raphire I've implemented your suggestion to consolidate backup notifications under the existing DisableSuggestions parameter. Changes made:
Now backup notifications are automatically disabled when users choose |
@SashankBhamidi That was quick! Looking good, although it missing the Sysprep key from the Undo regfile. |
Fix missing DisableMonitoring registry key in undo file to properly reverse system-wide backup monitoring changes from Sysprep version.
|
@Raphire Fixed! Added the missing HKLM DisableMonitoring key to the undo registry file. Thanks for the quick review and catch on that detail. |
