Windows 10: Disappearing restore points

has there been any resolution to this issue? I face the same on a single boot windows 10.

 

wptski I don’t do dual booting but I did some research on your issue
There are plenty of ideas but I haven’t seen a single solution yet for native usage.
When you say
“I think that happened after I created an ISO from the ESD file using the well known converter.”
Does that mean that maintaining system restore points on each one of the two OS’s were not an issue before then?

marymmcc check your Disk Space Usage and Virtual Memory
If those settings are ok for you, consider Delete all restore points for this drive to start over and see what happens.
Do you use any optimization programs that maintain backup information on your computer?

 

My disk space usage 25g and virtual memory settings are OK (6g swap and 4g memory). I do not have restore points to delete. Even when I manually create a point, it disappears if I create another.

 

Using some defrag programs has been known to cause restore points to vanish as may some cleaning tools.

Is your allocated space too small?

Note: I currently have 14 in 6Gb. (I don't know if that leaves room for more).

 

Do you use any optimization programs that maintain on your computer?

 

Ccleaner - nothing else.

 

After latest windows 10 update I spotted same issue when tried to use restore point. Was someone lucky to figure out solution ?
Also I can´t see option for backing up in disk properties as used to. The one when you right click disk and select tools tab, makes me sad.

 

Not a solution but an observation. Double-booting W7 / W10 deletes all restore points in W10, but leaves W7 restore points intact. Same issue with XP / W7 (older OS deletes restore points of newer; in the case of XP, MS documented that somewhere). Double-booting 2 instances of W7 or 2 instances of W10 does not delete restore points. Because of these problems, I rely on non-MS partition imaging tools, and archive the images on external disks - takes a bit longer, but I never had any problems with that approach.

 

This happened to me and I tried every trick in the book to solve it including all on this forum. I 'fiddle and tweak' a lot so restore points are very important to me. I found a nice little free program called Restore Point Creator! Brilliant. You can schedule regular creation points in any combination of time you need. Gives lots of info about the points created etc. I am in restore heaven. Would highly recommend you give this a try. Hope this helps. Regards .

 

I've had that problem for a while now. It started a couple years back when I had 7 64 & 8.1 64 on the same disk & would hold the restore points for 7, 1st OS on the disk, but they always disappeared on 8.1. Right now I have 3 OS's on one disk & only 1 keeps the restore points.

Apparently Windows doesn't like 2 or more OS's on the same disk & one will have to go without restore points. But as WHS mentioned, you can make images, which I do on a regular basis.

I did some research into the problem but never found a workable solution.

 

If dual booting no matter if on same disk or separate ones, each one should be set so restore points are made just for that disk/partition.

 

Well yes, that's how it should work. You would think there wouldn't be a problem being that the OS's are on 2 different partitions. But for some reason, people keep running into this problem & it's frustrating at the least, a PIA at the worst if you don't have backups & your OS gets hosed.

I was surprised to see my restore points disappearing from 10 as well, I would have thought there might not be a problem with the newer OS, but it looks like the same problem has carried over.

 

Brink pointed me to a workaround that helped for the same issue when dual booting XP & Vista/7. Apparently the restore points being deleted has been a problem that long and he suggested perhaps it may work in this instance.
