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.

  • Why my restore points are deleted when I restart my computer?

    The computer will not keep a restore point created manually, after I have shut down and restart. I increased the storage for her area in the protection of the system, also I do not see that automatic restore points are created by windows. What is going on?

    Hello

    ·         You have Dual boot for installation on your system?

    If you have a Dual Boot with Windows XP / Windows 2000 then this problem can occur because the restore point does not record if you dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows XP/Windows 2000 installed on the same system.

    If you do not Dual Boot on your system, but again, you are facing this problem then I suggest you to run the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner which is a Virus scan online provided by Microsoft.

    To run the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner please refer to the link provided below.

  • Restore points as far as the list displayed

    Hello Lorien!

    I did like you and Noel suggested and created another Admin account. It works very well! None of the problems errors occur in the newly created Admin account. He's got a few days of restore points for system recovery can I choose in System Recovery - today ' today only to the extent of the return in the 02/05/2010.  I don't see a box that allows me to check more than 5 days of restore points.  If there is a way of knowing how to go further away from the restore points, I would be interested to know how to do this for future reference. I'll follow your instructions above for this further investigation.

    Is it also possible now to know what the problem is in the 'old' Admin account?  I will follow your link on how to first fix a "corrupt user profile.  Is there a way to remove this 'problem' account, or you think that this link is a reliable solution?   Your thoughts are very much appreciated to help me to solve these problems, and thank you very, very much!

    Personally, I have not try and repair the 'old' account, but simply move
    All through a new. This way you know there is no problems.
    Remember that you may have to reinstall programs for the new account,
    and stuff (like Windows Mail) are buried in the hierarchy of user profile.
    You can use FAST to postpone things - but you can also carry the
    corruption overall, even once, I'd rather not.
    Keep the old account until you are confident, you have everything
    restored/copied in the new, then simply use the control of user accounts
    Panel to remove the old one - it should leave the machine clean.
    HTH, and happy that my idea seems to have resolved (or rather successful) the
    problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Check out the link to disable restore points:

  • How to change group policy for the system restore will create restore point

    I recently installed an SSD with windows 7, it's the default OS and hard drive on a system dual boot. I also have my old HHD with windows vista home premium. I had problems using the restore of the system with the SSD drive and read on a forum that the restoration of the system causes problems when it is used on an SSD. I have disable restoring the system to the SSD, but still he had checked to allow restoration on the vista disk and a 500 GB drive, I have use for storage.

    I managed to create a restore point when you are using windows 7 OS, but when I used my vista drive, and wanted to create additional restore points for two HHD disks, it does not allow the creation of restore points by group policy settings. I regularly create restore for the SSD disk and have created one for the HHD Vista since the system restore does not create additional restore points now.

    How can I change my group policy settings to enable restore points to create the disk under Vista. I don't remember changing anything that might have caused it, is there a chance that a horse of Trojan or virus caused this? I have Webroot antivirus and currently aired Kaspersky Anti-virus on Vista drive. I also ran the Microsoft safety scanner in safe mode and normal startup mode, none of the virus scanners have found problems, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a Trojan or a virus.

    To the point, how to make appropriate changes to allow the restoration of the system to work for my two HHD disks.  Better yet is there a way to restore completely all original windows default system settings without having to do a clean reinstall.

    You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?
