    How to bring back older System Restore points?


    Hi,

    I want to restore my computer to how it was 4 days ago. I opened System Restore and clicked the option that lets me see older points. In that page, I couldn't see the restore point I made. The amount of storage that I made my restore points be capable to take up is 47 GB. Is there any way to show all system restore points regardless of their age?

    :)

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CHow to bring back older System Restore points? :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CHow to bring back older System Restore points? :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.

    lost system restore point

    Two things that could pertain to this. First, older System Restore points do roll off the end of the list when the drive space allocated to system restore has been used up and new restore points are being created.

    The second point is that system restore points are sometimes deleted when significant operating system updates include changes that are incompatible with files stored in those old restore point(s).

    I'm presuming that you did tick the box in System Restore that says "show more restore points".

    System Restore is on But No Restore Points

    Merely enabling the System Restore feature won't create a restore point. In older version of Windows, there was a scheduled task that periodically did a restore point.... but the schedule isn't configurable in Windows 10

    So, Restore Points are created when:

    • You manually create them
    • You do an install or uninstall of a software package
    • You get an update from Microsoft
    • Periodically... but you can't choose when

    Here is an example of my Restore Points (notice that "Show more restore points" is checked):
