Restore Point on Windows Repair
mecanicogolf:
I cannot understand after all of these years, why the Restore Point does not work on Windows Repair. There may be a thread somewhere on your site, but I cannot find it. It would be soooo nice it it did.

That's my main beef with the program also. I had tried many times (Windows 7) to create a restore point with WR without success but now only ever use Windows GUI to do so. Registry Backup and Restore always seems to work as intended.
Boggin:
I've found the same although it once created one on my Win 7 machine.
I've mentioned this to Shane but not sure if he's been able to replicate it.
I always create a system image before test running any new version because of changes it makes to the Win 10 apps so I am then able to restore from.
Another new member who has used the program is also in trouble because he thought the program had created a restore point.

- The problem is NOT located in WR but in Windows itself. So, don't blame WR but blame Windows 7, 8 (??) and 10 (??) instead.
- Windows will make such a System Restore Point (SRP) every say 2, 3 or 4 weeks even when nothing important has changed. It's called something like "Planned Restore Point". Only when major things have been changed (such as a new (Windows) update or a new program installed) or any of the mysterious, unknown conditions have been met then Windows will make such SRP.
- So, when the user wants let WR make a SRP then it will be Windows who decides whether or not such a SRP will be made and when.
Willy2:
- With some GOOGLEing I cam up with the following article:
https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-restore-point-2625988
But I don't trust this information. I think the interval between creating 2 SRPs is much larger (than 7 days for Windows 7).
