Reserved storage was introduced in Windows 10 1903, if you have a new installed devices it is enabled by default. If your device is upgraded to Windows 10 1903 it is disabled by default.
Reserved storage starts by reserving about 7 GB of hard disk space and the amount of space reserved will vary over time based on the device. To ensure the device can successfully update and that it runs its best.
As part of Storage Sense Windows will do cleanup on your drive to ensure that you have enough free space.
With Windows 10 2004 there is new DISM commands to mange it – that can be set by Intune from running a PowerShell script.
