    How to permanently disable system protection?


    I use Macrium Reflect for image backup and want to permanently disable system protection. I have used the control panel to turn off system protection several times now but have noticed that for some reason periodically it gets turned back on. I have turned it off and then did a restart and it was still off but then several days later I checked and it was back on so I'm not completely sure what is triggering it to turn back on. Is there any way to turn it off so it doesn't come back on by itself?

    :)

    How to permanently disable Windows Update notifications

    Thank you for that link again, Alex.

    Problem: To store in Cloud on Demand, which would be ideal, I need the 1709 version of Windows. I have vsn. 1511 that can't be updated for lack of space (all unnecessary files have been removed). Viewing storage, everything is stored on C drive. I'll
    need to delve further into this.

    How to just totally remove phone, music etc, empty files. Most of the apps are not removable, and some like App Connector, Phone, Phone companion, Sway, Movie, TV, Maps, X Box (I don't have an X box) Microsoft wifi (my wifi is Linksys, so do I still
    need the MSFT wifi too?) I am not sure about their vital need for the notebook to stay alive.

    I have the Magic Jack VOIP and no cell. Do I need to keep the MSFT Phon and phone companion for that?

    Thank you for your patience. This lack of GB is driving me bananas.

    Run CMD as admin and enter (not sure, if it is permanent though):

    Thanks but I think that is just the command line version of turning it off thru the menus. I will try doing it that way though and see if it makes any difference.

    Try deleting all Restore Points then disabling it again.
    Some installer packages create restore points automatically.

    How to permanently disable system protection?

    The previous post did get me thinking. Now I'm wondering if it is due to driver updates. I did notice that a driver was updated some time before I noticed that system protection was turned back on. I understand that some programs or driver installs want to create a restore point prior to install in case something goes wrong but can't they do that without turning system protection back on? I really don't want to have to worry about system protection coming back on particularly since some of these driver updates happen automatically. There should be some way to tell the system to turn off system protection and don't turn it on again until I change it manually.

    The menus have changed in that area so that tutorial unfortunately did not help.

    Thanks for the help, I certainly could have been looking in the wrong place but I could not find those entries in the policy editor. I'll give it another shot tomorrow and post what I find.

    That was user error on my part...I did look in the wrong place. Found the setting and disabled it. So now system restore is turned off and the ability to change it is grayed out in that menu. I'll give a few days to a week and see if system restore stays turned off. Thanks!
