    Can someone explain to me how Windows Restore Point works?


    Upgrading from Windows 10 to 11, and would like to learn how this feature works.I am just learning about this feature and I can't seem to find any information about this.I don't really understand how much space I'm supposed to allocate to it.Or how less than 10 gigabytes is supposed to be able restore 70+ gigabytes of apps.To start off I'll use my existing C drive as an example.It has a capacity of 500GB and about just over half 250+GB is occupied.

    Automatic restore points not working

    I managed to find the procedure for creating automatic restore points on my desktop computer. However I tried to set the system to create a restore point on startup and then later, at a specific time. However when I checked the list there were no restore
    points listed for either case. The history says that it completed the task at the allotted time. I can create a manual restore point OK, which shows up in the system restore list. I've had a few near misses with malware recently, which were successfully dealt
    with by a system restore using the windows update point, but that was 3 weeks prior, hence the need for a daily update. Can anyone explain my problem please?
