    Even new restore points disappear


    I've read here that restore points disappear after a Windows update. Understood. But two days ago I decided to create and name a new restore point before downloading a program. System protection is turn on. The system verified that it was created. I've allocated 10% of space for restore points. After downloading the program, I didn't like how it was acting; I didn't want to merely uninstall the program, but to restore the system to before the download. I was shocked to discover that there were NO restore points to allow me to do this? Why??? Okay, I now know that there won't be any after a Windows update, but this was not the case. What is going on???

    :)

    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!!!

    Even new restore points disappear

    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.
