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

I use two PC's for a number of reasons:

1.   I have two Hard disks, redundant.   I have all files duplicated on both PC's.

2.   I can run one PC independent of the other, with two Connections, to try out various FIxes and troubleshooting, and, for example, I can run Services.msc and try out various settings to solve the un-ending issues with Admin problems and so  that Microsoft causes.

For example, the other day, after an Update, my Microsoft Admin credentials were reset so I could not even load a new program (Quickbooks) because of System errors from the Admin side.  I solved this issue using the OTHER PC which was still working fine, as both PCs are identical and the other one was my Wife's old PC that she no longer needed as she bought a Tablet.   So, I simply loaded up Quickbooks on the other PC and kept working and worried about the ADMIN issues for later.

 As a blogger, it is great to have a companion PC running the dialogs, and the primary PC running charts)....and if one connection is lost, the other kicks in as I use two connections, one with a Cradlepoint and the other is a Smartphone)...and with concurrent connections, there are always interrupts.

I could list 20 good reasons why having two PCs with separate Hard disks, connections, is better than a single PC with Dual Monitors.   I had such a setup one time and had a crash, and lost $$$$$ in five minutes in a live trade.    I trade options and at closing on Fridays, the action is exciting and lucrative (I run Strangles, weekly, and it is great $$$).

So, for all those reasons and more, I personally prefer two PC's independently running on a 100% duty cycle.

p.s.  I am quite surprised by your question, honestly.  MWB works flawlessly, loads automatically and two PCs are better than one.    I ran an MIS dept for a Silicon Valley Company and this is where I got some experiences with redundant databases which saved my Butt many times.

The faking §hit Microsoft does not allow you to turn back on their crap updates. Once again they f...d up my sistem with this 1803 update (Win10),  but I use macrium and go back in 20 min.

I HATE MS!

I have one PC stating, "your update failed."   And, so I have tried:   TROUBLESHOOTER, UPDATE ASSISTANT>>>>you freaking name it!   IT WILL NOT WORK.

Hi Djones_987,

I understand that you're having issues updating your computer. One scenario why Windows Update fails is due to an incompatible driver to the latest update. Another factor is a corrupted components of the update during downloading or installation process. For me to isolate your issue properly, I would need to ask some questions to avoid giving unnecessary troubleshooting steps. Kindly answer the following:

• Did you get a specific error code?
• Any hardware or software changes prior to this issue?
• What's the current build of your computer? Press Windows logo + R and then type Winver.

You may also follow the series of troubleshooting steps on the Fix Windows Update issues **** article. This will walk you through the step by step process to help you resolve Windows Update errors and other issues.

I'm not trying to be an Ass but even you must admit, that for the everyday, blue collar, working guy or gal, this is complete and utter BS !!

I've tried EVERYTHING on these Microsoft forums. Well let me rephrase that.  I TRIED EVERYTHING, until my pc got stuck in a loop of complete Darkness. My computer tried updating to 1806 and yes, it failed. It went back to 1709. Then my wife shut it off one night,

( always blame the wife ) just kidding.. Anyway, I started it, idk, a day later and in the toilet, it went. Somehow, it got lost in some kind of

" Microsoft Black Hole "

I, like the other Millions, possibly Billions, DO NOT have the time to sit here and play silly games. I get that your an IT guy and that's great but what do the little people do ??

Personally, I'm Beyond Frustrated. I have an ASUS CM-6850 Desktop. I took my hard drive out, backed up what I needed with a SATA Dock and am in the process of starting from the Greatness of Windows 7 Pro.

I think I'll be staying with 7 until Microsoft can fix, THEIR BUGS that were stuffed down our throats..

No offense to you personally and I know you can't shoot down a company you're working at in a public forum, unless you wanna do an

Al Bundy and sell some shoes. lol

Regardless, it is Very Frustrating.

Take Care
