Newly created Restore Points are disappearing within minutes of creation:
This is really getting out of control, and to say that I'm losing confidence and becoming demoralised by what is happening, is an understatement. It's no joke.
Two things.. First, this morning at about 8.25am, a Windows Defender Update was installed - I know 'cos I saw the icon in my System tray, and later viewed it in the Update History, here;
I noted via CCleaner>Tools>System Restore that a Restore Point had been created at the time of the Update, but for added security I chose to create another one. This I finished by 8.33am;
...and verified here;
And second, as I was in the process of making a report of this event to this thread, my system CRASHED ... blue screen and text...all I saw was a recommendation to go look for a crash dump file. When the blue screen went, I selected the Start Windows Normally mode, and am still here, filing this report.
However, by 8.55am, I'm back to where I began, with NOT ONE system Restore Point showing;
So where to from here? I guess try and find the crash dump file [another new realm for me] and put that up here as well. Boy, is this Laptop sick, or what?
