Is there a way to disable the automatic creation of a restore point for Windows Defender, when he made an update of definition of the window? It is for the definitions of update itself, not the option 'restore point before the scan' can I disable with a

I want to keep only a single copy of a System Restore Point that I created mine so I know when I did and why I did it.

With Windows Defender, I noticed that a new restore point is created whenever there is an update of Windows definitions, if I use the method of automatic or manual update.  I found that when I opened the system restore and found a new copy with description: "Installation: Windows Update.  In the history of Windows Defender, I noticed that the time corresponded to when the update the definitions file.

I unchecked the box under Windows Defender does not create a restore point before a scan of the system.  I tried the Google search to find answers and can't seem to find someone mentioning this.  Also MS sites does not seem to explain on the restores automatic system during the update of the definitions.

I'm also curious whether Windows Essentials will have the same problem that I am planning to use Essentials instead of Defender and thus get rid of Avast.

Hi Dudeus,

Yes, it is not possible to disable your system being created before windows updates restore.
