    Suddenly, daily system restores without installing any programs.


    Four days in a row now I have had a system restore point created , these are not the automatic type. There is no malware on the system, checked with Defender full scan, offline scan and Malwarebytes. All events give the exact same description and absolutely no programs have been installed. I've ran the troubleshooter for Windows Update and it fixed a few things but it just keeps creating restore points. In the past, if the system was idling (which is usually never) it would create an automatic restore point a week after the previous one if auto maintenance was left to run fully. With all the recent CUs I think it has been months since a restore point was created without an update. Can anybody help me with this?

    Edit: I just realized that this should have been posted in the "Backup and Restore" subforum. If somebody could move it there I would appreciate it, don't want to double post

    :)

    Some programs crash right after startup. started occuring after a system restore

    Earlier this week I did a shutdown for some windows updates to install. After it rebooted it seemed to take forever saying windows update preparing to install. Some googling suggested to reboot and it will finish the installation, or you can sign in and re-perform the update. This didnt happen. I had to do a system restore to a direct X install from a couple days back. Windows then booted properly, but there was some problems. It complained about unable to load assembly sortkey.nlp. Turned out it was ATI catalyst software causing the problem. So I reinstalled that to 12.10. Now when I try and run some programs such as CdBurner XP Pro or Free Youtube to Mp3 converter, they crash instantly with the error: <program> has stopped working.

    I tried removing .net and installing .net 4.5. But still no luck.

    Id like to avoid reinstalling windows, any suggestions?

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.
