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

Yes, thats right John. Its virtually a new OS. But the thing that really annoyed me, apart from turning OFF  System protection (God knows why, its called PRO-TEC-TION!!!!)

But that they Also wipe/delete any System Image restore points.

And while I have my Images stored externally, Im reasonably sure that if I tried to use one, from say Version 1511, then I would get that Failure notification thing. Incorrect Architecture or Operating system, or whatever is is.

I ran into that issue previously, trying to restore my W8 image of the same PC that now had W8.1.

Long story short, because the image started, then ran into that incorrect architecture thing, what I ended up with was a WIPED CLEAN HARD DRIVE!!

No Operating System. Nothing at all would work, as W8.1 never allowed repair disks to be created.

I ended up restoring my W8 image with a solution I read here, I had to D/L an iso of Serverv 2012 r something.

And during the install process it FINALLY allowed my w8 image to be restored.

Its justv plain terrible what MS have done since W8-8.1 in these respects. Thatv episode took me many many full days work finding a solution.

Pretty much need to create a full installation disk with these new horrible windows systems.

That is such a crap response, The point is I like most people who use that "system restore points" do it to protect our systems and data. If they need to delete our restore points why in gods name can they not turn the "System Protection" back On and create a new restore point?? That is what would be expected by someone who is and has been taking all the steps needed to protect their system and it data, to do this is a blatant undermining of these actions taken by the user. I for one would sue if their direct actions of doing prevented my systems recovery.

The update must check the system to see if it is on in order to turn it off to start with. I constantly ask myself are micro-soft to stupid to care about people's person settings or are they just going out of their way to piss people off by while trying to showing that they are really the one in control???

Totally agree! As Dennis Q Miller has it: "no excuse for turning off system restore and compromising the system moving forward".

Boy do I have issues. We are now into 2018 and once again, a Windows update wiped out more than one restore point. Besides that, Calculator is constantly being loaded in the background and it no longer works with my JAWS screen reader. If I do need to use Calculator, I have to load NVDA or Narrator. Yes, I have add-ons turned off in settings-privacy, and that doesn't stop calculator from loading. Now, I also have a problem with Internet Explorer 11 getting locked up. Sometimes it gets stuck in a Google tool bar when I was in a completely different web site. When I shell out to the desk top, I have to go into Task Manager to turn off IE11. It will not close from the Task Bar. And, no, I don't want to change to Edge or Google Chrome. Already tried them.don't I exit

Agree. I understand how historical restore points may be invalid and should be cleared, but there is no excuse for turning off system restore and compromising the system moving forward,
