Windows 10 updates keep turning off system restore thus deleting previous restore points!

Why is Windows 10 update wiping out my restore points? On November 21, I created two new restore points (manual). My C: system drive was turned on. My limit was set to 25% and my new 1 terabyte  WD hard drive is barely 30% used. This morning, I allowed an update that took a long time to download and install. Afterwards, my Task Manager had new entries, Cortana2. My previous days restore points had been deleted and C: system was turned off in system restore. This is the second time in a month that Windows update has screwed with my settings and system! Why isn't somebody doing something about this?

    I have the same problem, and as previous people have said it seems every time a Win10 update is installed, all the old problems seem to re-appear...….along with a load of NEW problems which come from nowhere.

    It is high time Win 10 was sorted out, it seemed so good AT FIRST them the problems started with the ad-hoc updates which occur randomly.

    I'm afraid if this persists I will be another candidate for APPLE MAC.

    I totally agree with Noel

    What is wrong with Microsoft adding a BIG RED warning. like if you install this update your system restore will be turned off & you will loose all restore points

    Also why Uninstall programs that I have onMY computer no one else's but mine, what right do you have to do this type of thing to Personal computers I would love to know your reasoning for uninstalling programs

    There are two simple answers to all the problems with Windows issues, Microsoft's over reach and generally bad implementation of Windows updates, and they are the following:

    Mac OS.

    Linux.

    Outside of the work place no-one is forcing anyone to use Windows, there are perfectly good Office equivalents on both of the above OS's, perfectly good browsers as well.

    Windows has to work with a multitude of devices and brands so there are inevitably going to be issues, unlike Android which has a huge community of people WILLING to help.
