Is there a way to stop SQL Server from recording its uptime in the registry?

    I have discovered that SQL Server will constantly (about twice per
    minute) write into the registry the following keys:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance
    Name>\MSSQLServer\uptime_pid

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance
    Name>\MSSQLServer\uptime_time_utc

    It records the SQL Server executable's process ID and the server
    uptime into these keys. Is there any way to stop SQL Server from
    doing this, or at least have it write into these keys less frequently?
