• How to restore a significant update to Windows 7 I lost after a restart for an earlier version of the system restore point?

  I am running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350 t. Recently, a malfunction of Windows at startup caused my father reboot the system to a previous system restore point. (He says it was one of several options at startup.) Everything seems to work fine now except that I seem to have lost a critical update Windows downloaded after the restore point, Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256. Still, there are in my Windows update history and is listed as "installed successfully", but when I check my updates installed, it is absent. Also, when I try to search for updates installed, I get a message indicating that Windows is up-to-date. I can't uninstall the update and re - install because it is missing from my list of installed updates. So I guess that the re-start to a previous system restore point has put this important WIndows update in limbo. How can ensure me that this update is installed correctly and working properly?

  Hello hakimbenzakis,

  Absolutely, because based on that you are running the latest version of the Windows Update Agent and have the last update to it.

• The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

  I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

  In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

  And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

  Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

  Hey, Jose,

  I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

  I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

  The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

  "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

  'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

  • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
  • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
  • No disk compression
  • Did not display the warnings system restore.
  • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
  • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
  • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
  • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
  • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
  • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

  "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

  This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

  • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

  "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

  • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

  "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

  • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
  • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
  • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

  "To answer your question:

  The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

  • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

  I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

• Problems with Vista after disk cleanup

  I have problems with my computer. I have Windows Home Basic Edition. I decided to do a disk cleanup on the computer to speed up some. After disk cleanup, all icons on the desktop disappeared. I tried to open the word processor in the start menu, but got a message saying that he had either been moved or was not valid, and the shortcut would be deleted. At this point, I have advanced and restarted my computer. Only, it wouldn't start at all. I got the Windows installation disc and crossed to repair your computer option. It took forever for a kind of diagnosis, but the started computer. My desktop background was black and a folder with my files was missing. I have received a message that my activation code is not authentic or valid. I tried to restore the computer to an earlier time, but that would take forever and doesn't not work even in safe mode. What can I do now?  I barely understand anything in this area. Thank you!

  I was finally able to do a system restore and validate windows. However, all my files, including photos and important documents have been removed. Is it possible to restore these? And is there anything else I should do to prevent it happening again?

• Windows 7 - How to create installation of the automatic system restore points

  After installing Norton 2010 Security Suite, my hp officejet pro 8500 printer stopped printing. When I tried to do a system restore, I found that I had only a restore point and that was created after the installation of Norton.

  Under XP, I had restore points created every day, automatically.

  How to configure the creation of automatic system restore points in Windows 7 Pro?

  Hello Mikeoncamano,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site

  Turn on or turn off System Restore

  System Restore regularly changes made to your computer's system files and uses a feature called system protection to create restore points. System protection is turned on by default on the hard disk that Windows is installed. You can enable restoring the system for other disks by turning on system protection for these disks.

  You can not turn on protection system for a disc is formatted by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems.

  To turn on System Protection

  Open system by clicking Start , right-clicking computer, and then click Properties.

  In the left pane, click system protection.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Under Parameters of Protection, click the disk, and then click Configure.

  Do one of the following:

  To be able to restore system settings and previous versions of files, click on restore system settings and previous versions of the file.

  To be able to only restore previous versions of files, click only restore previous versions of files.

  Click OK, and then click OK again.

  Kind regards

  It will create automatically restore points when there are changes to the computer or Windows.

  Disable your Norton protection system and check if she created the restore point...

  Delete files using disk cleanup
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-7

  Clean all the files on the computer:

  System Restore and shadow copies. With this option, you can remove all but the most recent point on the restore disc.

  Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

  In some editions of Windows 7, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. These files and images will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, refer to what is system restore?

  I hope this helps.

• Disable the creation of Automatic System Restore Point? -SOLVED

  Is it possible to disable the automatic creation of System Restore Point (to prevent Windows to create points of food every day and after (re) install programs / Windows updates)?

  I want to manually create System Restore Points because the automatic creation uses too much space, because I install new programs very often.
  Note that I still want to use system restore. I don't want it to be automatic.

  Hello

  Well, Yes, you can shut down the computer to automatically create restore points by disabling the system of protection under the system restore. System protection is a function that creates and records information about your computer's system files and settings regularly. The system protection also saves previous versions of files that you have modified. It saves these files in the restore points that are created just before significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device driver. They are also created automatically once every seven days if no other restore points were created in the last seven days, but you can create restore points manually at any time.

  Again, I suggest you to create a restore point when you turn off system protection. Basically, to store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new. The system protection, the feature that creates restore points, is enabled by default. We recommend that you keep System Protection turned on for all hard disks that contain important files so that you can use system restore if you need to.

• create a system restore point cases printers stop working

  I have two HP printers (Laserjet 1536dnf & Officejet 6500) installed on a PC running Win7 64-bit.  Until January, they worked very well after Win7 updates (restore point created automatically).  Since then, any time a system restore point is created I lose access to these two printers.  By clicking on "Devices and Printers" opens the window and the progress bar goes to infinity with nothing found and the process must be closed with the Task Manager.  Printers are not accessible, but no error message appears.  Any reference to a printer causes this particular process hang and must be closed with the Task Manager.

  Both printers are wired Ethernet to Cisco E3000 router and are set up to be shared in the same home group.  Oddly, a second PC in Win7 that is connected via Ethernet to the same router, using the same two printers can create the system restore points without any impact on these two printers.  The main difference between the two is that the PC works an AMD based system, while the affected uses a system based on Intel.

  Printer is restored when I restore the system since early January restore point.  Any later restore point using simply reproduces the problem. I have searched the FAQ and forum but can find no cure.

  Hi Amundarken,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and thank you for the opportunity to help you.

  After the description of the problem, looks like HP printers (Laserjet 1536dnf & Officejet 6500) stop working after you have created a restore point system.

  To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following question:

  You receive an error message or error code?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can check the status of the Printer Spooler service after you have created a restore point system, if the Printer Spooler service is not started and then start the service and check:

  A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.

  To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.

  To change or restart the print spooler service, you must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps:

  a. click Startand then click Control Panel.

  b. double-click Administrative Toolsand then click Services.

  c. double-click the Printer Spooler service, and then change the startup type to Automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.

  d. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click Start in the area of The State of the Service .

  Method 2: You can update the printer drivers and check if it works.

  See the following articles from Microsoft for more information on the update of drivers:

  Update drivers: recommended links

• System restore points keep deleted by the system

  Recently, I have activated the protection settings for windows 8 and define the use of storage 10 GB max. Every time before the update of the system, I'll create a manually restore point. But after a few days, the system will change the disk space maximum at 0 kb system restore point and remove the point of restoration that I created. Even if the protection settings is always on. sfc/scannow and re - install windows 8 does not resolve. No idea how to solve this problem?

  Dual-boot
  1. Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
  2. Windows 8 Pro 32-bit

  Peterson,

  It is a common problem with Windows dual-boot configuration. Windows 8 restore points are physically deleted by Windows 7 when you log out of Windows 8 and boots in Windows 7. There are several workaround solutions to stop this behavior. A such work-around is to use the Bitlocker feature on the volume on Windows 8.

  BitLocker is a feature of security integrated into Windows 8. When it is enabled on the volume on which Windows 8 restore points are enabled, then it is inaccessible to the Windows 7 Volume when you start in.

  There are some other solutions workaround to make some registry changes. But it can be risky If you're not good with computers. Here is an article that tells you about the same problem on Windows 7, when it is configured to dual boot with an earlier Windows operating system.

• Missing system restore points

  Take a look at my system restore points, I found that it was not. There is no reason I know for it - system restore has been on, but being created no restore points - I turned it off and then new and now that it will create restore again points.

  Something happened to me I was had been looking at some dodgy sites "make money on the web easily" just out of curiosity. Anyone know of any malicious dishes that destroys the restore points. It would be a sneaky way to stop the removal of spyware.

  Also I noticed some automatic update of Microsoft had just completed installation - would this have deleted restore points? From what I read the auto create restore points updates not remove them.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  I found this info:

  If there is no free disk space on the monitored system drive or on any of the available non-system drives, System Restore purges restore systematically points in all monitored partitions to free disk space. If the free disk space falls below 50 MB on any monitored partition, System Restore will stop watch and suspend.
  Note: Some users have reported that using the Real Player One has been deleted and restore points. Please check your log to the system event viewer for events to restore the system to a volume error event.

  But these are questions of Microsoft and if you want to learn more about these issues with the tool to restore the system you must check this information from Microsoft site:
