Here we go again you'll say and rightly so, but I cannot find in search EXACTLY what I am experiencing here.
I had the usual "restore is turned off", and with help here have finally got system to acknowledge that system protection is tuned on for C:/ (system) and Recovery. However, and there seems always to be an however, when I attempt to restore I get the "system restore is turned OFF"
I rebooted, but to no avail. So with the protection settings on for C;/(system) and the recovery partition, why wont the restore function work!
I don't know how you solve your first problem. But you cannot restore when there's no restore point or recovery image. So you cannot do recovery/restore though you turned on system protection.
