About this tag
The get-windowsreservedstoragestate tag covers the PowerShell cmdlet used to check the status of Reserved Storage on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems. Reserved Storage is a feature that sets aside several gigabytes of disk space to ensure Windows updates can download and install successfully, even when the drive is nearly full. The tag includes discussions about how to use the Get-WindowsReservedStorageState command to determine whether Reserved Storage is enabled or disabled, and how this relates to reclaiming disk space on devices with limited storage. Topics also cover the trade-offs of disabling Reserved Storage, such as reduced update reliability, and the registry or command-line methods to control the feature.
