Windows 10: Do i need to set VSS to Automatic in order to use system restore?

Hello, as the title states. Do i need to set VSS in automatic to use system restore or am i good to set it at manual? I make a manual restore point every 3 months.

System restore point automatic create not working....need help.

Were you seeing CAPI2 errors with Macrium & System Restore.

And after enabling system protection.
1) Does System Protection automatically create and populate checkpoints to list.
Does System Protection create restore points when called by a program and populate checkpoints to list.

2) I'd like to confirm whether my issue is unique to me or common.
My issue is that I can manually create restore points okay and those manual created will populate to my list.
Automatic restore points do not populate to my list. Albeit, Task Scheduler shows Last Run time change.
Automatic restore points do not populate to my list e.g., with Windows Updates.
When create restore point is called by a program. I see activity that suggest restore point is being created ...but, again the activity does not translate to an entry in my list.

 

System Restore Disk Space Setting Keeps Changing Back to 100%

Hi Tom,

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

• How did you "turn down the Disk Space Usage setting to 15%"?
• Do you regularly install and uninstall app or programs in your PC?

To begin with, I would like to inform the folder System Volume Information stores the information created by the PC in order to help you perform System Restore.

The above might occur if you regularly install or make significant changes to the PC and have set the features of System Restore to automatic. This will cause automatic creation of restore points thus increasing the information added to the above folder.

For now, I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if it helps:

1. On the search bar type, Create System Restore.

2. On this window click on System Protection, and locate the Configure button under
Protection Settings.

3. Here you can set the space that you wish to set for your Restore. Once set, the points created before will automatically get deleted.

Hope this helps

Regards
