What is it you want to know?
How to create a System Restore point?
(That is *not* a backup of *your stuff*, but of the system files/settings.)

2012-10-20T23:19:59+00:00 For the last 4 days I was able to Restore to 10/5 and no other date. With today's update I can no longer restore to 10/5 or 10/20, 10/19, 10/18. I thonk the last update broke the Restore function.
Not impossible, I suppose.
Create one manually, reboot, change something and then try to restore using the restore point you manually made.
Did it work?
