Disable Windows Reserved Storage (~7 GB)

StorageModerate riskReboot requiredReversible

Sets ShippedWithReserves=0 in the ReserveManager key. Reclaims the ~7 GB Windows holds back for feature updates. NOTE: future feature updates may fail to install if your free space drops below ~10 GB. Run DISM /Online /Set-ReservedStorageState /State:Disabled after this tweak to fully release the space; this tweak just flips the policy bit.
