Restore Point on Windows Repair

<< < (2/2)

Still_Game:
I haven't attempted to use the Create a Restore Point in WRAIO for some time because I don't trust it but I do remember that, when I did, the process took an impossibly short time to complete and the Restore Point created didn't work. Using Windows 7 to create the Restore Point would produce one that did work. I recollect that the size of the Restore Point created by WRAIO was considerably smaller than that created by Windows, reinforcing my belief that the problem lies with WRAIO.

- No, the decision on how much to put in the SRP is made by Windows.

Still_Game:
Well, if that's the case, I'll have to do some more tests to see exactly what's going on with my system when I've got time. But, like Boggin and others, I don't rely on Restore Points - I always back up my hard drive before carrying out any critical changes.

Boggin:
Regardless of what Windows does you can create a manual restore point at any time, although I don't know if this is how WR creates it.

I just know that it has never created a restore point on my Win 10 and only once on my Win 7.

On this Win 10 machine Windows hasn't created a restore point after the 16th of this month and the only restore point showing is a Manual one I made on that date.

Windows is supposed to create a restore point usually every 7 days but only when your machine is in a quiescent state.

Willy2:
- Perhaps System Restore has some "secret options" that can be used to push Windows into making a (large) SRP. I tried to GOOGLE it but to no avail
