Windows 10: How to turn on turn on System Protection

I am running Windows 10 Home Edition, I could not action Windows Restore so I did a Reset on my PC, I am trying to turn on System Protection so I can do a Restore Point but it is grayed out & I can not turn it on, can someone please tell me how to turn it on. I can not access Screen Shot either. Would I be better of to do a complete Reformat of my Computer as I think somethings did not work when I did the Reset????

Windows10 System Protection Cannot Be Turned On

Hi,

The problem always happens after the device is updated to Windows 10. The Turn on system protection is greyed out while you are able to access the System Restore panel. If you find that system restore for the Windows drive is turned off and disable, try
any of the possible solution.



Note: Make sure you have signed in as an administrator.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to Enable System Restore.

Enabling the Disabled System Restore:

• Type GPEDIT.MSC in your Start Search box. This will list the app which allows to edit group policies.

• Now follow this path Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> System Restore.

• Look for a setting which says “Turn Off System Restore”. This is not configured by default.

• Double click it and select “Disabled”

• Click OK.

Hope this information helps. Get back to us with the status of your issue we will be glad to help you.

Thank you.
