    Maintain Restore Points


    Hello. I have noticed with my Windows 10 version 1903 Dell PC ... that I lose restore points even though I have reserved adequate space for it in my hard drive.


    I understand Windows 10 only retains restore point for 90 days.


    But I am not seeing restore points remain for even 90 days.


    Since I have a Dell .. it comes with the optimizing support package .. Dell Support Assist. I have been told that using it may remove restore points in an effort to optimize my computer .. gain more space in my computer. I have deliberately not run it.. for a while to see if that does work. It seemed to.


    Until the regular monthly Windows updates. I understand that when you have a feature change... a feature update ... it deletes the old restore points because Windows 10 is a different version after a feature update.


    My question is.. does a cumulative window 10 update that changes your build number also delete restore points?

    :)

    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 (CMaintain Restore Points :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CMaintain 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.
