Windows 10: System Restore not show in Microsoft "Services"

Just updated to Win 10 1903. I noticed in services that System Restore was not listed. I did a restore point and ran it and it was successful. So all is working properly. But still I am wondering as to why it is not showing on services? Is this something new? Thanks to all the gurus here for an answer.

Hello,

I suggest you perform the following suggestions to resolve this issue:

Step 1:

1. Click "Start", type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and press Enter.

2. Double click the service "Volume Shadow Copy Service".

3. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the "Start" button under "Service Status" to start the service.

Step 2: Run sfc /scannow to check your system.

Step 3: Go to %windir%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SystemRestore

In that directory, rename SR to SR.sav

Try to create the manual restore point again.

Let us know if this helps!
