Because you should create it idiot! Read and understand!

same here. I don’t have windows search in registry editor.

OK, so none of this actually worked for me if the Storage service gets started again. I found a solution to at least get RID of the folder after the fact. I’ll post it here, but you need to be a little bit savvy:
-Open a command prompt as an administrator
-switch to the drive letter of the SD/USB, in my case E
E:
(the prompt should change to the new letter)

-change the attributes of the folder to remove System, Hidden, and Read-only flags
attrib -S -H -R “System Volume Information”

-Delete the folder and subfolders
rd /S /Q “System Volume Information”

-Close the window
exit

-Yank the USB/SD card WITHOUT do that “Safely Eject” process
If you safely eject, it will write that folder back out there.

I found this on a board where a person was having the same problem with the same machine, and I have tested it a few times now.

Update…I was able to restart and insert the SD card and it still did not build a System Volume Information folder. The “Storage Service” service was still not running when I restarted. I don’t know how that gets triggered to start.

So…when I first tried this regedit change, it did not stop the SVI filder. But my “Storage Service” service was running at the time. Once I stopped that service the regedit fix seemed to kick in.

That means that each time I go to check my CPAP data, I will check to see if that service is running.

For all I know, not having the service running is all I really needed to do, but now that it’s working, I’m not gonna mess with it!

If you need more detailed instructions, let me know and I’ll try to post them here.

I needed this to be able to use the SleepyHead software with my CPAP machine and not have it make the card unusable by the machine.
