Preventing "fake" Win Update restore points
I think this is an "Update" thread vs. a "Restore Points" thread...
I have Automatic updates turned off and no updates are showing in the update history, however when I go to restore points, I have one listed every couple days for "Windows Update." I read in this forum that no updates were done, but that the RP was created when Windows goes through the motions.
The problem this creates for me is that I now no longer have the restore point for the date I need, prior to installing some suspect software. Yes, I've now increased the disk size for Restore Point to 10%, but I still have the issue of not being able to go back to an older restore point. So....
Q1: Can I stop Windows Update from creating these restore points? They are needlessly taking up all my SR space. (There were no actual computer changes, so this was a dumb idea, Microsoft).
Q2: If I restore to the oldest RP in the list, will older ones then show up? (Yes, once this is resolved, I will get an imaging software - another good idea I got from this forum).
