Windows 10: restore point not created, system protection not working

after a long refresh of windows 10 using media creation tool, WIndows version 21H1 build 19043.1052 is the result.Now creating a restore point hangs for ever, after taking for ever to find the drives and list for which drive protection is activated.Analyse wait chain shows SystemPropertiesProtection.exe waiting for shadow copy service VSSVC.exe which in turn is waiting for svchost.exe - which has one thread waiting for another, all these processes using zero CPU and no change in memory allocationdump files created but I cannot add them to this question apparentlyvolume shadow service is runnin

System restore point automatic create not working....need help.

Were you seeing CAPI2 errors with Macrium & System Restore.

And after enabling system protection.
1) Does System Protection automatically create and populate checkpoints to list.
Does System Protection create restore points when called by a program and populate checkpoints to list.

2) I'd like to confirm whether my issue is unique to me or common.
My issue is that I can manually create restore points okay and those manual created will populate to my list.
Automatic restore points do not populate to my list. Albeit, Task Scheduler shows Last Run time change.
Automatic restore points do not populate to my list e.g., with Windows Updates.
When create restore point is called by a program. I see activity that suggest restore point is being created ...but, again the activity does not translate to an entry in my list.

 

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.

Hello Thread,
here's a bit of progress
Current Usage: increases with each manual create restore point called by me thru System Protection - Create & create restore point created when called by program.
for example:
1.34
1.36
1.39
1.40GB

Note: only the manual create points called by me thru System Protection - Create populate to System Restore list.

What is the mechanism that populates data to the System Restore list.
*Restore Points called by third party do not populate to System Restore list.
