System Protection to create Restore Point only works in manual mode

I have a Win7-64-Pro comp where something happened to it will not create/save Any automatic restore points. When I click on "Show more restore points" it only shows the current day's manual restore point that I do each day even tho the schedule seems to correctly show the daily schedule that I previously set up.

I have a 2nd Win7-64-Pro that works ok.

Is there some easy way I can fix the bad one such as by copying the create/restore folder from the good one or ??????.

Hi Robis99,

open system restore >> config.

How much space is allocated, and are you copying all or just some parts.
If these are identical to your other comp
from an elevated command mode run
sfc /scannow
and KB947821 (SURT)
post the results (zip) from C >> windows >> logs >> cbs )top text file and bottom SURT

torchwood,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Please clarify, I'm a little fuzzy on some of what you sent.

1. Space allocated is 10% (100GB)

2. I'm not sure what you mean with "are you copying all or just some parts".
I only mentioned "copying" if it is possible to copy just the Create/Restore folder(??) from 1 comp to another to fix my problem.

3. I understand you want me to run sfc /scannow
4. I looked up KB947821 and understand you want me to run the SURT and then post part of the CBS file.
5. Please point me to the instructions for posting a file.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

1) 10% 100 GB is plenty.
2) on the window after you hit config it has 3 choices basically all, some or none.
just copying the files/folders from another comp is dicey in this case,
thats why i asked you to run those 2 repair tools (3 & 4)

5) follow this tutorial to upload.

Roy,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

1. I ran scannow and the KB (had to find a Win7-64 version)

2. I did not find any "3 choices basically all, some or none" in System Create/Restore or anywhere else.

3. The resultant files are CheckSUR.log and CheckSUR.persist.log (they are both text files)
Both files are only about 500 bytes.
Do I really have to zip them or can I just attach them (I'm not sure how to zip)

Thanks for your patience.

Roy,

If you are still around, please reply to my last post.

OOOps Sorry Rob,

missed the reply

System restore options, see screenshot.

W7 has a built in Zip function.
both of these please
CBS
SURT

Right click - send to - compressed zip folder, this creates a new folder
in your next reply - click on the paperclip - browse to the new folder - upload

Roy

Roy,

Here are the 2 zip files you asked for.
Thanks for the education - I hope I did it right.

Rob

CheckSUR.persist.zip

CheckSUR.zip

Hi Rob,

they came back clean..

Lets try another route,
Any 3rd Party Optimiser/cleaner program installed, possible they have a Restore point deletion setting in use.
(including your AV)

Do you have any repair discs --

Read some of your previous posts - is this the BIG one , photos included ??
or the Cloned OS.
(note a System Images is better than a clone, they carry disk problems/errors with them)
