    System Restore Points


    I have a Windows 10 laptop, I would like to copy a restore point to an external hard drive because if something goes wrong on restoring my computer back to that restore point, I want a copy of it. I found where it was located on my computer. However, it does not have it on my computer, it located on some Azure Cloud that I do not owe or have never created. I would probably have to have an Azure account to ask a question on there forum. But, I would like to know how I can get my restore point back on my computer. The reason why I need to restore this to this restore point, it seems my Windows

    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 (CSystem Restore Points :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CSystem Restore Points :)
    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.

    Scheduling System Restore Point Creation


    I have tried to precisely follow the instructions set out in System Restore Point : Create at System Startup - Windows 7 Help Forums, but the Task Scheduler / script is failing to create a restore point:
    • Running the script manually creates a Restore Point.
    • Task Scheduler appears to run the script, but no Restore Point results.

    (The Last Run Result code 0x41301 indicates "The task is already running".)

    The Task Scheduler settings are as follows:

    I would be grateful for any suggestions as to why the restore points are not being created.

    System Restore point

    FYI:

    These are Windows 7 forums, not 10.

    And you can not create a system restore point with an installation disk anyway.

    You use a disk if you can't boot into Windows in the normal way to access
    existing restore points.
