Step 1 should have deleted all restore points but Step 2 suggests that it had found "older restore points". User settings are being ignored by Windows? Maybe a Windows 10 bug? Not a big problem. Just another annoyance. I'll just have to manually delete RPs from time to time I think.

Hi Nigel,

Restore points are usually saved in
Local Disk (C), kindly check that the Local Disk (C (System) is
selected when creating a restore point. If it is correctly selected and the issue still persists, kindly go to the
Local Group Policy Editor
and check if the
"Turn off Configuration"
and
"Turn off System Restore State"
is set to
Not configured. To do this, press
Windows key + R, type
GPEdit.msc
and hit
Enter. Go to the location
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > System Restore and check if both state is set to "Not configure".
If it is set to the correct state, perform these troubleshooting:

  Command
  Prompt as
  Administrator.
