System restore works only manually

[DigDeep]

I googled everywhere and nothing helped. So I decided to ask you.

My system restore is on and have 3.5gb (3%) of space, but it wont make automatic restores, only if I make them manualy. I tried with restarting system restore, turned off and on again, tried with Av turned of....




Please help.

Do you have it set to back up files as well as system info? If so, 3% may not be enough. 6% is about the norm. Also look at this HowTo:

System restore will only make an automatic point if none were made in the last 7 days.

, or if there is a critical update. Not sure whether they still make one when a program is being installed (as in Vista).

Whatever it does, the OP should be able to set it as desired with the tutorial listed. I know my W7 doesn't wait 7 days.

I cannot get into the mind or Microsoft, but it would be my opinion they they are trying to avoid a situation of too many points being made, at the same period of time; possibly erasing the older points, which may be needed in case of a restore.

Miles says that he does not have that situation, but I do and I think that, based upon his answer so does WHS. It appears to be a situation that others have, too, based upon the link that I left you.

Test it, make sure that you are set for every 7 days. Do not make any points for that period and see what happens.

My system creates a point when I install a new Program. It also automatically creates points. On XP I found Norton 360 interfered with the system restore.

Now I dont know should i delete setting to make s. restore daily when computer is in idle. Coz Maybe it would make to much restore points. But as far as i know ,system restore should be made every time you install or uninstall program, or make any other changes.

Whenever changes are made to the OS, system restore will make a point. You cannot change this using user friendly methods.

My advice, leave defualt alone. I gave you a short cut to make more points, when you want them, see my first post.

Not only on XP, also on Vista. Norton can block the restore process. You have to first disable Norton protection. I heard that this was fixed in Norton 2010 but I never tried it.

The problem with disabling Norton is that it can be the devils own job to get it enabled again. I have found the easy way is to go into safe mode, which doesn't load Norton, do your system restore from there and reboot into normal mode when Norton will still be enabled.

Troubleshooting missing restore points:

or this one which I think is your problem

Im glad I made manual system restore so I revert time and my windows are activated now
Sfcscan said everything is ok.

But now I checked up when I made system restore and after restart and apllying it, system made automatic sys. restore at startup.

I dont know whats wrong with my computer, but I hope it stays like that.

Now I will try to install/uninstall program and i it make sys. restore then everything is ok.

EDIT:

My mistake it was just RESTORE OPERATION , NOW IM PISSED OFF. wHY??


I know that there is one way to make system restore work again, but i cant remeber the site.
You must turn off sys.restore and restart computer, and then turn it on again and restart again and sys. restore works. But dont know if its exactly like that, . I think you must do something in register to. It worked then.

 

[richc46]

I use to give the advice to turn off the SR and then on again, like you suggest and it worked half the time. I stopped giving that advice because the comment was made that all points that do exist will be lost.

It worked I know, but As far as I remeber you should do something else (cant remeber what was it) delete prefetch or delete/reneme one registry key.

What the service name in windows 7. In xp it vas System Restore.
