System Restore Problem

[Ken1943]

I have a 32bit netbook and a 64bit desktop. Was checking system restore
and noticed that there were no restore points for the last MS updates or
scheduled point. Task Scheduler does have the correct entry.

I googled and not sure of the "fixes" I saw.

Any help Please

Thanks

I dunno for sure Ken. But I seem to recall some large updates, Microsoft
purposely disables System Restore to make the install fit into a smaller
space requirement. If I recall correctly installing XP SP3 did this. And
when an update goes wrong and the user tries to restore and none was
created, they generally get a bit upset. And frankly, I don't blame
them. I don't know if this is the same in your case or not.

The other netbook and desktop do show the updates. That is what I use as
a benchmark and the reason I think something is wrong.

Did you also check that system protection was still turned on when you
were checking the system restore points?

Yes I did and no virus or malware. I made a restore point, so will have
to monitor restore more often.

1. You posted upside down. This isn't /Jeopardy!/

2. You used a signature delimiter, which would have been correct
except that, because you posted upside down, the entire article you
were quoting became part of your signature and is not quoted by most
newsreader software.
