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

You have my sympathy - If I had a dollar for every hour of my life that buggy Microsoft software has wasted, I'd be a rich man! What really disturbs me is the total lack of interest or accountability from our wonderful Redmond friends. Too often have I spent hours or even days searching countless Internet forums for the solution to a specific Windows problem, only to have to eventually format the drive and start over. My solution to this (and it has saved my life, figuratively, many times) is to install a scheduled disk cloning package like Acronis or Macrium Reflect that clones my entire Windows drive to ANOTHER, preferably external, drive on a daily or weekly basis. External hard drives are relatively cheap these days. Set up your computer so that you have a separate Windows drive that holds no data, only the OS and installed apps. It won't be too big - mine is about 150Gb. Imaged it occupies about 50Gb. Make sure you have created a bootable recovery disk with your imaging software (either DVD or USB) so that restoring your entire Windows drive is not too much of a hassle.

Windows does have the built-in option to create a system image to another drive, believe it or not, which you could try if you want to rely on Microsoft software. I don't. Too often it fails with some incomprehensible error message and then you can just forget it.

If you do go this route it makes further sense to also have a separate drive just for data, and back this up regularly too. 

It's worth the peace of mind. Windows updates, even disk failures or theft of your entire PC, is no longer a concern. You can restore your entire system, with all installed apps and settings, in usually less than an hour.

I agree...I only ck it when I need it..and it's always turned off!!!!

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.

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
