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

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".

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.

Yes. Another thing that Really bugs me about these "Upgrades"

They reset everything back to how THEY want it, NOT how you have spent weeks or months setting it up just the way you want.

But... Theyre just oblivious it seems to their customers feelings. And the continuous frustration & trouble they keep putting us through.

Im a HUGE W7 fan, that was when I got  my first PC, aged 43. I loved W7 big time.

But Im now done with MS. "8 - 8.1 - 10", and all the continuous differing versions of 10, get progressively worse.

I'll never buy anything MS again. Ive always rather despised Apple, but if thats what it has to be... Then so be it. MS has killed of any faith I used to have. Actually I had Much LOVE, after getting to know and learn on my W7. Beautiful process it was.

Thanks MSoft!!!

In agree with everything you said Noel, but for saying johnptd's response was Crap.

It looked to me that he was just telling it like it is. He wasnt giving one of those terrible generic answers that we get from a lot of "Microsoft MVP's"

He was just saying what happens. Not defending it in any way, or saying that there was some sort of good reason for it.

No problem. I do agree with everything else you said.

Cheers.

Wait, did I read this right? We can't save system restore points any longer? I don't care if an old one drops off. Had a power failure, system moved all the front window icons into a pile on the left. I went and looked, "system restore set off".

Turned on, set a restore  point.

Two days later, all the icons are piled on the left again. Look... no system restore points, it's turned off again. Repeated: turned on again, set manual restore point. This morning, no system restore points.

Someone just tell me, in plain English, has Microsoft removed the ability for any system restore points? How do I save the configuration which gets lost when there's a system lock up or power failure? HOW?

If the ability to do this function is disabled, why is that option still available in system settings?
