Hi all: Hope this is the correct forum. Every time I boot my system, I get a message, just after the default blue background screen appears and just before the login screen comes up, stating: "Applying Microsoft Disk Quota Policy". It sits there for approx 30 seconds (seems longer) then I get the login screen, I sign in and the boot completes successfully. This is accompanied by an event in the 'System' event logs. It throws an event ID of 1085 which, from what I can tell, is a generic event for Disk Quota and about ten other items. There is no further info that I can find for this event in TechNet. To the best of my knowledge a Disk Quota Policy is not set and never has been set on this machine; it's a new, clean install, NOT an upgrade. I've done the following: 1 - I've verified that each of my hard-drives (C & D) and the two USB drives all have quotas disabled. a - I mean that on 'Properties / Quota', the item 'Enable quota management' is unchecked - and never has been checked. 2 - I've been through the Group Policy MMC and as far as I can tell there is nothing about disk quotas that has been configured a - I freely admit I could easily have missed something. 3 - Seached quite a few Win 7 forums for similar problems but found nothing. Unfortunately I can't remember when this first showed up but it was at least a month after I'd started the system for the first time. I'm getting very few other errors and would love to get rid of this one. I have not changed a single thing in the registry. System info: Win 7 Ultimate x64 running on an Asus board M4N72-E, AMD Phenom quad-proc 2.8 Ghz CPU, 8 GB Kingston ddr2, 1TB (C) drive and 1 160GB (D) drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the computer is a domain? If so it should be applied by the Domain Controller. If the computer is not in a domain, I suspect that related policies are added by some third party servers or programs. You can run the following command in a command prompt window that is run with administrator privilege. gpresult /z > %userprofile%\Desktop\gpresult.txt Then open the file gpresult.txt on Desktop, check the Disk Quota section to see if any policies are applied and view the detail information.Arthur Xie - MSFT

Hi Arthur: The system is a standalone workstation. The only other system is on the network is a standalone workstation running XP SP3 used by my wife. I ran the cmd with admin privileges and it came up clean. The only reference to 'quotas' anywhere in the output was in the section "The user has the following security privileges", which said, 'Adjust memory quotas for a process'. There wasn't any section labeled Disk Quota in the list. The sections under the area labeled "Resultant Set Of Policies for User" were all N/A. Is there any other way I can determine what is causing this?

I suggest you troubleshoot in Clean Boot Mode. Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or programArthur Xie - MSFT

@I-Grok How did this resolve your issue? What were your findings? I'm having this same issue on my network too. Thanks

Same here, very frustrating!
