System Restore points silently disappear
Steevo:
Volume shadow copy service is enabled but stopped.
Is yours stopped, and is there a config in the box at the bottom?
Julian:
hmmm are you comfortable with deleting every restore point on your drive? reason is I'm going to give you a command that will wipe system restore then the next command will set it for a max size of 4%
this code deletes every system restore point on drive c:
--- Code: ---vssadmin delete shadows /for=c:
--- End code ---
this resizes your system restore storage to 4% of your hdd
--- Code: ---vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=c: /on=c: /maxsize=4%
--- End code ---
Steevo:
Yeah, I am comfortable, since I have no restore points older than today.
I'll try it.
Thanks!

Here's the output from vssadmin list shadows
Bit I don't think it's all there. The cmd window buffer is inadequate. I increased the buffer to 999 with properties, but it does not seem to have changed, or not enough.
