Windows 10 1803 - Removable storage inspection does not work, the system does not generate 4663 events

Question
-
We are trying to set up a domain inspection of access to removable storage hubs using GPO. The policy is used on client computers running Windows 10 1803, but after connecting a swap device (pendrive) and copying any file, the system does not generate any 4663 events. On the other hand, events 4663 are generated eg when reading data from DVDs. For checking on one client, we installed Windows 10 1607 and events 4663 were logged in for a connected removable device (pendrive). Is there any additional configuration required on Windows 10 1803? I would ask for help in this matter.
Domain controllers: Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 and Windows Server Standard 2008 R2,
Enabled Security option: Audit: Force auditing policy subcategory settings to override Audit Policy category settings.
Client: Windows 10 Pro x64 1803Thursday, September 20, 2018 9:08 AM

To fix this issue, change the following registry value to 1 (DWORD):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Storage\HotplugSecureOpen

Hi Lukasz Handy,
Does the issue occur on multiple Windows 10 1803 devices?
If all the events occur correctly on Windows 10 1607 after you reproduct same action on Windows 10 1803, would you upload the event logs which genereted on Windows 10 1607 and Windows 10 1803 to One Drive and paste the link here for checking?

Hi Joy-Qiao.
The problem occurs on all devices with the Windows 10 1709 and 1803 versions.
The equipment is from various manufacturers. Stackable computers and laptops. Also, portable devices (pendrives) are from different manufacturers.
All procedures were performed in accordance with Microsoft's recommendations.
Sending logs, in this case, will not do anything. Simply in 1607 events are generated and in 1709 and 1803 they are gone.
If you can help, confirm or deny that it works for you.
I think the problem is global and Microsoft pretends that it is not there.
