  1. Windows 10 Version 1909 Restore points disappeared


    Periodically I check my restore points to see how many are available in case I need to perform a System Restore.


    This morning, I checked and all of my existing restore points are gone.


    I had created a manual restore point a few days ago and at that time there were at least 3 others available. These were all recent restore points as my computer had been updated from Windows 10 Version 1809 to 1909 just the other week.


    The only change to my computer has been the usual windows updates and some updating of some computer programs. I also did a manual copy and paste backup of the data on my computer yesterday.


    I did notice that the windows old folder has been deleted not by me but I am not sure when this happened - I know it was still there a few days ago.


    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my restore points have disappeared and if I might be able to get them back easily?


    I have since created a new manual restore point but am concerned that this might also disappear leaving me in a tough spot should I need to restore my computer and discover that there are no restore points available.


    I am not very tech savvy so easy to understand and follow assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Disappearing Restore Points

    I have provided 59GB for the Restore Points.

    And I have created one Restore Point that used up less than 200MB of the space provided.

    Yet after a few days, it disappeared.

    This keeps happening many times because I created them just to check whether they disappear like the rest.

    They do.

    And just in case anyone is curious whether I have enabled System Protection, the answer is that I have.

    My understanding of how Restore Points work is that as more and more Restore Points are created and the spaced provided is squeezed, the older ones will be deleted to make space for the new ones.

    This is a very logical step.

    But as can be seen above I have 59GB while the Restore Points created came to less then 200MB!!!!

    I think that the whole argument is becoming more and more futile.

    By right Microsoft must do something to ensure that the Restore Points are not deleted in any way.

    But so far, they have either passed the bug back to the users by suggesting all sorts of programming by the user to solve the problem or better still staying invisible!!!

    Do you know what?

    Not everyone is a programmer and if you screw up, you don't even have the Restore Point to save you!

    Which is what the Restore Point is there in the first place!

    I hope that users will wake up to the fact the Microsoft is passing the bug back to THEM!!!!

    I suggest that users in the US awaken the top hierachy in Microsoft to the deplorable state of affairs in their company!!!

    Windows 10 Version 1909 Restore points disappeared

    Restore Points keep disappearing

    I just posted the following in the longer thread, as I think the discussion would be better in one place, what do you think?


    I'm aware of at least three fairly recent threads discussing this unresolved problem:

    posted this in November Sytem Restore points frequently disappearing

    sygnus21 posted this in late December
    Restore points being deleted

    Mr Bear posted this yesterday (21st Jan 2019)
    Restore Points keep disappearing

    Would it be more effective to continue in a single thread?

    If so could the moderators agree which one please? I'd suggest this longest one, started by sygnus 21.
