SfcShowProgress

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0 | 1 1

Description

Hides the file scan progress window. This window provides status information to sophisticated users, but might confuse novices.

This entry stores the setting of the Hide the file scan progress window Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 0 when you enable the Hide the file scan progress window policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 1.

Value Meaning
0 The policy is enabled. The file scan progress window does not appear during file scanning.
1 The policy is disabled or not configured. The file scan progress window appears.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Hide the file scan progress window policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Windows File Protection).

Note Image Note

This entry takes precedence over a user setting. While the Hide the file scan progress window policy is enabled (and the value of this entry is 0), the system ignores the value of SfcShowProgress in the Winlogon subkey.

Windows File Protection only scans when the current user is an administrator of the computer.
