Windows 10: Task Scheduler Restore Point deleted

BACKGROUND:

I am attempting to create a Restore Point on 4 different computers in my office. I am successfully able to manually create a restore point using powershell.exe. Action: -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Checkpoint-Computer -Description \"BDRE-CHRIS Restore Point\" -RestorePointType \"MODIFY_SETTINGS\"". Task will complete successfully.

PROBLEM:

1. Each day at 4AM the task is set to RUN.

2. The existing restore point is deleted ans no new task is created.

SUCCESSFUL:

3/26/2020 7:00:02 AM BDRE-CHRIS Restore Point System

This will be overwritten/deleted on 3/27/2020 4:00:00 AM


What is interesting is this process works on another computer the restore point is created but the restore point is deleted from the prior day.


Any assistance would be appreciated!

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.

 

Scheduled Restore Points Not Appearing

Hi.

I'm using Task Scheduler to create daily restore points on Windows 10. The scheduler reports that the tasks runs and returns a 0x0 code. But the restore point it presumably created does not show up in the list of available restore points. Any thoughts
about why this is not working?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Hesley

 

Task Scheduler fails to schedule Restore Point Creation


Hi, presumably you have ensured that system restore is enabled (it's disabled by default in Win 10). Forgive the obvious question..

From Shawn's tutorial on this in eightforums I noted:

• System Restore in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 creates a scheduled restore point only if no other restore points have been created in the last 7 days.

Maybe that applies in '10.

I remember there's a task that looks as if it should do this, and I went through exactly what you've done, then found it doesn't. whether this is it, I can't recall.

The definitive solution which I've used for a long time is to install a small utility by Shawn and set up my own task.
System Restore Point Shortcut - Windows 7 Help Forums

I've noted that MS seems to now not create restore points before updates.. and seen that comment elsewhere..
