    Does using a Restore point to restore Windows 10 to an earlier time actually work now (my Win 10 is fully up to date)?

    I know when I first got Windows 10 this function did NOT work.

    Just would like to know. Thank you.

    :)

    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 (CRestore Point :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CRestore 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.

    Please double check using the screenshots under step 11 to verify if the restore point is listed there.
