Windows 10: Recovery points are killed

Hello from Germany.

On my HDD there are two partitions, one with Win 7 and one with Win 10, chosen by the Win-Boot-Manager.
If I start Win 7 all the recovery points from Win 10 are lost.
But starting Win 10 all the "7-points" are still there.

Why that and ... how to fix it?
Thanks.

You mean a System Restore point?

Restore from a system restore point

This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you create
a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

• Select the Start button, type control panel
  and then choose it from the list of results.
• Search Control Panel for Recovery.
• Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
• Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.

Note

If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. To check, go to the
Control Panel, search for Recovery, and then select Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure and make sure Turn on system protection is selected.

To avoid any conflict. Open Disk Management and remove the drive letter of Windows 10 while running Windows 7 and vice versa.

 

Does not work.
In that moment I start Win 7 to open the disk management, all the restore points from Win 10 are deleted automatically.
Or did I misunderstand you?

BTW ... if I would buy another HDD so that Win 10 has its own drive ... would that solve my problem?

 

this issue was reported months ago - with System Restore Points gone missing
when dual booting windows 7 and windows 10..

If you are dual booting 10 and 7

This is done with REGEDIT while in the Windows 7 Host OS

Open regedit and expand > HKEY Local Machine System

Then Expand SYSYEM and scroll to Mounted Devices

right clicking on Mounted devices and select NEW and KEY = Offline

right click on Offline and select NEW and DWORD = \DosDevices\X:

(where X is the driver letter assigned to the Windows 10 OS Partition)

right click \DosDevices\X: and click modify - enter value 1

It was also a problem if you were dual booting 7 & 8.1 on the same drive.

 

Perfect, thanks a lot.
