As near as I can tell, the pop-up was legit and Windows Update would not work because the system believed it was a counterfeit copy of Windows. Despite these pretty-good safeguards, my Win 7 system was recently clobbered with an invalid windows and activation problem. are backed up on multiple systems and clouds. And my really current documents, password keepers, etc. Case in point is I use Macrium Reflect for an occasional full image. It’s hard to argue against a fool-proof backup strategy, but most of us have merely a not-a-complete-fool backup strategy. And of course, I’d rather you spend the time investigating a good backup solution to put in place. Ultimately, I don’t have a good answer to make System Restore work reliably. It may already be set to a maximum value, in which case there’s nothing more to be done. I can’t say that it will make the problem go away. There you’ll see a slider that will allow you to adjust the amount of disk space that System Restore uses. Increasing System Restore’s disk allocation If possible, it’s worth trying to increase that allocation. Often, the problem with missing restore points is nothing more than System Restore having used up all of that available space, and kicking out some of the restore points that it had, to make room for a more recent one. System Restore works with a fixed amount of disk space that’s allocated by the system and it saves “as many restore points” as it can into that disk space. The one thing that I would look into, however, is the amount of disk space that’s currently actually allocated to System Restore. There’s no way to know for certain what your issue is, since so many of System Restore’s operations are hidden from view. But my bottom line recommendation here is to stop relying on System Restore and instead rely on a good backup regimen that you put in place. I do have an article that goes a little bit more deeply into my frustrations with System Restore: “ Why I don’t like System Restore”. There’s also a common problem of people thinking of it as a backup, which of course it’s not at all. Basically, as in your case, it just doesn’t seem to work when people expect it to. And you don’t really know until you need or want a restore point. It may do something in the background, or it may silently fail. You can think of these problems as hidden land mines. In my experience answering questions here on Ask Leo! since the day System Restore was introduced, it’s been a source of many problems.
