    Also, in the "History" tab, it says "(disabled)", and I don't see a way to adjust that setting.
    In the Actions on the right side of the Task Scheduler window you should have an Enable All Tasks History option.
    Click that and it should turn on History.

    @DavidW7ncus -- Thanks!!! :) :)
    I completely missed seeing that option (I didn't have the right-side panel set wide enough to read all the options... duh). That's a Huge help. Now I've at least got the History enabled, and I'll see if that keeps a record of when/if the "set restore point" task was completed (or attempted). I'm hoping that might shed some light on whether the restore points are/aren't being set, even though they don't show up in the System Restore utility.

    Unfortunately, I'm still confused as to why the System Restore utility doesn't show me the checkbox that would allow me to select/deselect the option to "show all available restore points". So far I haven't had any luck with that, even though I know it should be there... Any thoughts? Thanks again...

    You're welcome!

    I would run a System File Check.
    If it finds issues and can't fix them all, you may need to run it 3 times.
    Use Option Two in this tutorial:
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

I've neglected this problem for too long and I would like to get it resolved. My sys restore is not saving ANY restore points, except for the very last one that is an auto one created by Win7. If I manually create one, it will appear in the list for the time being, but if I shut down or restart...
Can't believe that a program that was released over 4 years ago has still got so many things wrong with it. If I can make a manual restore point and windows updates create a restore point then why oh why is it so hard for an automatic restore point to be created. Never had this problem with XP...

My last automatically System Restore Point automatically created by the passage of time was created 2013-01-23. No further automatic system restore points are being created (that means not ever, not daily, not weekly, simply no longer created automatically by the passage of time since last...
System Restore is no longer creating automatic restore points. All the necessary services are set to automatic, ie: task scheduler, volume shadow copy, microsoft software volume shadow copy, windows backup, and remote procedure call. I tried disabling SR, then performed a disc cleanup,...
