Windows 10: Why are my Win 10 restore points gone? And no, I did not set to manually.

So after years of no issues, I suddenly got the blue screen tonight. So, I figured I'd system restore. I have nothing important to lose.
I know for a fact I did a back up 3 months ago. Now, system Restore says my only available restore options are July 24 2020 (today).

I had at least 5 backups in my system restore. What the hell happened to them?

Restore Point on Windows 10-How to prevent manual restore point from been overwritten?

Dear all,

I have a brand new Dell laptop (G5-5590) with windows 10 Home.

1. Recently I observed that restore point was disactivated and I decided to activate it (I activated restore point only for OS drive).
2. Next to that I set the maximum capacity of restore point at 3% ==> ~6.5 gb.
3. I also created manually a restore point.
4. I checked the 1st day on which restore point was created that system storage occupied capacity from restore point was 406 MB.
5. Every next day the capacity occupied at system storage for restore point was increased.
6. I was checking if any other restore point had been created but I could not see something for 6 days
7. Finally after 7 days the occupied capacity at system storage for restore point was 3.1 gb and I found that 2 other restore points had been created automatically from windows.

After this short dexcription, I would like your help regarding the following questions :

• Is everything described above normal ?
• My manual restore point will be automatically deleted (overwritten) when the max storage set capacity be reached ?
• If yes, how can i keep it ? (I mean how to prevent the manual restore point that i have created, without increasing max set storage capacity).

Thanks a lot for your time and looking forward your reply.

Best Reagrds,

Windows 10 - Restore Points are being deleted

Win 10 restore points are vanishing from my PC, too.

On 04/01/17 after tweaking file backup schedules, I checked Win 10 System Restore for the first time since upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 in 2016.
Discovered no restore points at all, even though system protection for C: was configured “on.”
I changed the max usage slider from lowest setting (~1%, 10.0 GB) to 10% (68.83 GB) to ensure plenty of space.
Then I created a restore point manually & verified it appeared (by itself) in the restore point list, with proper date/time, my description & type = manual.

On 04/02/17 in AM I opened Task Scheduler & found no triggers for task SR, even though the last run time was listed as 03/31/17.
I created a trigger for SR execution daily at 1:00 AM.
Then I opened System Restore & found no restore points!
The point I created manually on 04/01 had vanished.
Later on 04/02 I opened System Restore again & it showed 1 restore point created on 04/02 06:57:30 PM with description & type = Windows Update.

On 04/03/17 in AM I opened System Restore & the Win Update point dated 04/02 was still listed.
However, there was no point corresponding to task SR, even though Task Scheduler reported that SR had “completed successfully” earlier on 04/03.

On 04/04/17 in AM I opened System Restore & found no restore points!
Like my manual point on 04/01, the Win Update point on 04/02 had vanished, and still no point was listed for task SR, even though Task Scheduler reported that SR had “completed successfully” on 04/03 & on 4/04.
I created another manual restore point & verified that it appeared by itself in the list.
Later on 04/04 I looked again. My latest manual point had vanished, but a Win Update restore point created in PM on 04/04 was listed.
As of 04/04/17 09:48PM, it’s still there, but I expect it to vanish by 04/05.

I have read all the posts on “Windows 10 – Restore Points are being deleted” ranging from 11/16/15 to 02/09/17.
If there’s a solution for my problem, I haven’t found it yet.
To reiterate, System Protection is configured “on” for C:, 68.83 GB of disk space is allowed, current usage (from 04/04 Win Update restore point) is only 86.17 MB, C: has 491 GB free out of 688 GB capacity.
I can create a restore point manually, and points are being created by Win Update, but System Restore never lists more than one point, and that point vanishes by the next day, even if no additional point has yet been created.

What else can I do to keep at least one restore point available at all times?

 

Creating a manual restore point in Windows 10

Well you can if one is listed in the system restore registry so why not a backdated manual one
