  2. Cannot Create System Restore Point Because Cannot Turn On System Protection

    In Control Panel/System/System Properties/System Protection, "Available Drives," all that is listed is "Searching..." No drives are located, so no System Restore point can be established.

    How to fix?

    I have an extensive active thread in another area of the community dealing with the failure of this PC to install the latest Windows 10 update. Prior to executing the next suggested step to fix that problem I need to create a System Restore point, so a
    solution to this issue must be found before I can move forward on the major problem.

    YES, I have ALREADY run the SFC Command as Administrator and the report was that everything was A-OK.

    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 (CIs it safe to turn off my PC while making a system restore point? :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CIs it safe to turn off my PC while making a system restore point? :)
    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.

    system restore point not working properly

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query here in Microsoft community.

    Before we start, make sure that System Restore is enabled on your PC. You can check the status of System Restore by following these steps:

    • Press Windows Key + R and type gpedit.msc.
    • In the left pane navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > System Restore.
    • Check the state of Turn off Configuration and Turn off System Restore settings. If they aren’t set to Not configured, double click each setting and set it to
      Not Configured.
    • Click Apply and OK to save changes.

    If the issue persist, let us know so we can assist you.

    Regards.
