You should also ensure that System Restore is actually enabled in the first place.
Microsoft seem determined to turn things ON by default in most of their software (such as automatic line numbering in Word), leaving users to fathom out how to to turn unwanted and annoying features off.
However Windows 10, amazingly, has System Restore turned OFF by default!
Bertrum,
Are you seriously suggesting turning off my anti virus protection to enable me to create a 'system restore' point? I suppose I would have to switch my virus protection off again to enable the insertion of said 'system restore'point?
There has to be a better way?
Cheers.
