Windows 10: Does Windows still automatically create restore points when installing

I tried to upgrade a software program (Hitfilm Express 2017) and failed (it gets stuck during installation and aborts). Trying to reinstall the previous version does not work.

I have sought help from the makers of the software and they could only advise installing as an administrator which did not help. Since I cannot install either version, I hoped I'd be able to simply restore to a point before I made that change. Doesn't Windows automatically create restore points when installing software? It used to do that. All I can find is "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" which does not have any restore points.

I really don't want to reinstall Windows because it takes a very long time to get everything configured the way I like (months of tweaking).

where is automatic System restore windows 10

I would like to do system restore , but I have not created system restore points. I looked in the system restore and there are no automatic restore points. When I had windows 8 and XP the system used to create restore points. What happens in Windows 10?
Are there any system restore points in Windows 10 ? If the system does create restore points automatically, where does one see those points? Because I do not see them. If I can restore the system to a week back , I will not have any problem with word. Please
let me know where can I find System Restore point in Windows 10 when they are not created by me.

 

not creating automatic restore points

since upgrading to windows 10 no automatic restore points have been created. All services required to create automatic restore points are running. I have also created tasks in the task scheduler to create automatic restore points and still no automatic restore
points. What am i missing to resolve this?

 

Think you can only access the system restore from the advance start up options now, I read on here somewhere that it doesnt create them by default anymore when installing programs just windows updates. someone may confirm a yes or no on that tho matey

 

I found it at Control Panel > Recovery > Open System Restore. However after using it, my program crashes on launch so still isn't usable.
