Windows 10: Creating restore points on a schedule?

Is there a way to get Win 10 to create system restore points on a schedule (e.g. once a day)?

Scheduling System Restore Point Creation


I have tried to precisely follow the instructions set out in System Restore Point : Create at System Startup - Windows 7 Help Forums, but the Task Scheduler / script is failing to create a restore point:

• Running the script manually creates a Restore Point.
• Task Scheduler appears to run the script, but no Restore Point results.

(The Last Run Result code 0x41301 indicates "The task is already running".)

The Task Scheduler settings are as follows:




















I would be grateful for any suggestions as to why the restore points are not being created.

Hello orealius,

Just to verify, did you check to make sure that step 1 is still set properly?

It's not uncommon for some settings to be reset to default after a new build or update.

If it is, then test using the command in step 8 below for your current scheduled task instead to see how it may work.
