Windows 10: Windows Defender / System Restore Points

Win10 Home x64 (1803-17134.288)

Starting in August 2018 (don't know the exact date) ... Windows Defender / Windows Module Installer are creating a System Restore Point every 24 hrs. Based on the time stamps, it appears this is being done by the default Windows Defender Task (Verification Task) in Task Scheduler. As part of this, the Component Based Servicing is creating xxx_xxxx.xml and xxx_xxx.bak.xml file in the C:\Windows\servicing\Sessions folder.


The CBS.log shows the following ...

Hello ma3ino, *Smile

Please double check using the screenshots under step 11 to verify if the restore point is listed there.

 

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.
