A fix/explenation yet? Windows again cleared my system restore points (and this time there was only the automatic restore point it created after cleaning my system restore up, and the restore point created when I re-installed my nvidia drivers).
Another 'automatic restore point' has been created, with no other points left. Nice one windows
How much space do you have allocated for restore points?
Go to Control Panel > System and select System Protection. Under System protection, highlight the drive your system is installed on (if you have more than one drive) and click on Configure. There is a slider that allows you to change the allocated space. What is yours set on?
10 gb, did all that last time I had this problem. Only had one restore point left this time and the automatic one it created when it cleared the rest up.. see my earlier posts in the thread as well.
I did notice this automatic point was created last tuesday... so that's when it deleted every other restore point again. The time before when it happened was also on a tuesday... I think something's set it to do this weekly
Win 7 is set by default to create weekly restore points. Try increasing the size to 15 Gb and see what happens. What does it say under Current usage? That would be the size of your one restore point.
No, it should not if there is space left. I know of no other settings to check. Maybe someone else will have some different ideas.
Another tuesday, and I see the old 'automatic restore point' has been cleared and a new one made.
So I know for sure now that somehow my win7 restore points are deleted weekly. STILL don't know why though. Some software causing this?
Open an elevated Command Prompt and run the schtasks command. Then have a look whether there is any unusual task scheduled for Tuesdays.
