  1. Creating a scheduled task for restore points


    I've read and watched videos on how to create a monthly or three monthly Restore Point but cannot get past the following "you must enter a task name and at least one action" ... the videos that I've watched do not mention this. Can anyone point out to me how to do this?

    :)

    Task Scheduler does not create Restore Points

    Task Scheduler does not create Restore Points. I can create them manually but not with Task Scheduler. When the time comes for Task Scheduler to work, nothing happens. There are no error messages. No history entries are relevant. I have Windows 10
    Pro, Version 1607, Build 14393.1066.

  3. Creating a scheduled task for restore points

    Attempting to create task in Task Scheduler (Restore Points)

    Not sure what a GUI is

    Not sure what a Command Line is or Syntanx

    I'm going to Task Scheduler / Microsoft / Windows / System Restore and on the far right I'm clicking on Create Task. Then I go to the Triggers Tab and can create it on the monthly thingy but after that, it's pads up because when I go to OK it, I get this
    exciting "you must enter a task name and at least one action".

    I have no clue as to what that is, although it's not because I've haven't tried.

    Scheduled Restore Points Not Appearing

    Hi.

    I'm using Task Scheduler to create daily restore points on Windows 10. The scheduler reports that the tasks runs and returns a 0x0 code. But the restore point it presumably created does not show up in the list of available restore points. Any thoughts
    about why this is not working?

    Thanks in advance,
