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?

    No problem, Dj!

    Here's the latest patch: KB4284822. Look for 2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4284822).

    Do let us know if you have any further questions.

    Hello, I found that update and as of this moment, Pac Time 7:45am, I have noticed that the "Windows Update Standalone Installer" has been in "Searching for Updates on this Computer" mode for nearly an hour.    It shows the usual Green Streaming Progress Indicator.

    How long should I allow this to run before opening Task Manager and simply stopping this Installer?  It seems to be stalled.    Is it UNINSTALLING some previously broken installation files or folders?   How might we research if anything is actually happening here?   It is spinning away without progress it seems.

    I have some work to do this morning, a Sunday.   I might have to simply stop this process and go back to it later in the day.   Is this a normal process?

    Thanks for your instructions.

    OK, I found this forum instruction, from another site:

    UNINSTALL FAILED ATTEMPTED W10 UPDATES

    Should I try this?

    Thanks, everyone,

    DJ

    I have landed on the CONTROL PANEL PAGE and CLICKED, "Uninstall an update" and it is hung up as well, so far.  MORE LATER if  progress is made at all!

    I am sure that by now you might guess that I am wondering what has happened to Microsoft Programming, when NOT ONE UPDATE, since I converted to Windows 10, has gone well.  It is amazing to me that SOMEONE at Microsoft has not noticed this issue and then has done something to help us out here in REAL_VILLE.

    Thanks for confirming, Dj.

    OS build 16299.125 is an outdated update. The latest update for 1709 is KB4284819. You can manually download and install this update on this link.

    Do let us know if you have any other concerns.

    Hello, thanks for this link.  I am finally back home from a trip.  I am trying to determine which link to use from the MS UPDATE CATALOG PAGE.

    It has:   DELTA UPDATES, and CUMULATIVE UPDATES.  I have a 64-Bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

    Would you mind leading me to the right link.  There are many:
