Hi,
I am confused. The screenshot below shows that a system protection point was automatically created after midnight today, but I do not have a corresponding system restore point. Am I not understanding how System Restore points work?
I have read the tutorial, but it doesn't answer my question. The screenshot shows that a system protection point was successfully created at 3/16 12:40AM. The Screen Shot also shows that the last available System Restore Point is from 3/14.
Why do I not have a System Restore Point from 3/16 12:40 AM?
I think they are ordered by date descending so a restore point from early today should be listed at the top.
I checked the show more restore points just to make sure and there were no other point.
I don't really know the answer but you could make a new restore point and check that it is there after rebooting.
This might be helpful.
Thanks for the command line.
The command line displays the system restore points available in the System Restore Point dialog.
I am beginning to think that although a system protection point is created on a nightly basis, this does not necessarily always generate a system restore point . They are two different things? IE some event has to have occurred since the last system protection point to result in a new restore point?
