I was Googling how to disable the SleepStudy in Windows 10, which creates a bunch of ETL files and runs on my desktop that has all forms of away/hibernate/sleep disabled.
Well I stumbled on an article by the Microsoft Defrag Tools team (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/defrag-tools/168-powercfg-sleep-study) and so I e-mailed them, asking how to disable SleepStudy.
I got a reply back from the Microsoft team, and we discussed a few things too, like why is the OS growing in resource usage so much, and they said a few points:
1) Microsoft's policies are to never remove features once they are implemented into the OS, which is why each new Windows gets heavier as time progresses.
2) They helped me solve it. It turns out that it was just a scheduled task which is easy to find. I just hadn't tweaked anything in the tasks yet, I've been focusing solely on the registry so far, and I assumed it would be a registry tweak since some of the other AutoLoggers are.
Edit: updated the post, it was moved as a reply from another thread into a thread of its own, and now a lot of this post is out of context, so that discussion was all removed from my original post now by me.
