System Restore Points Missing
Sep 26, 2012
I would like to do a system restore, but when I try to do so (system protection/system restore), it tells me that "no restore points have been created on your hard drive".
2 weeks ago I successfully did a system restore, and I have not changed any settings since then. My recovery partition is still in place, the disk manager says the recovery drive has 8 GB out of 15 GB free. Could the restore point be in my recovery partition, but for some reason Windows isn't seeing it? How would I view the recovery partition to check?

Does anyone know how to schedule/automate a rollback to a system restore point at a set time each day?What i'm trying to do is:1. Disable the standard system restore behavior for creating restore points when installing apps and drivers.2. Automatically/schedule a restore point to be created every morning. (probably using Task Scheduler)3. Automatically/schedule a rollback to that morning restore point every night.This should allow users to mess up the workstation during the day, and restore a working rollback point at night when users are not using a workstation.Updates are scheduled at nighttime, so before that happens, it should rollback to a good restore point, apply updates, then create a working "new" restore point with the updates in the morning....etc.

System restore failed to extract the file. from the restore point. There was a disk failure during the restore. This might be caused by bad sectors on the disk. I get the same message, but with a different file name, with every restore point I try, and I have now tried all seven available restore points, going back to 30 Dec 2011. The computer was working perfectly until 3 days ago when it blue screened, and has not started properly since. It is a Corei5 with 4 GB RAM and is only 12 months old. I just dont believe the drive has that many bad sectors.

Having turned on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 I found my user accounts to be missing and was left with an Administrator account. It seems that the system has reverted to a very old restore point. I have tried using the restore points (recent ones are displayed, but I get the 0x80070057 error). My data seems to be intact.I have Windows and all programs stored on an internal SSD-drive and the data on an internal harddrive. I also have a recent Acronis image on a NAS. I am hoping there might be a way to solve the problem without using the image.I have tried booting in Safe Mode, but the restore points are still not functioning.
EDIT: I remembered that I had used a new USB-stick which would not eject correctly, before turning off the computer. I tried reinserting the USB-stick before restarting the system and... everything went back to normal.

It seems my Win7 system is only retaining the last restore point created.I have configured it to save files and settings, and use 5% (5+gb) of available space (Win7 installed on a small partition for now). I can never see more than one available restore point even after ticking the "Show more restore points".

I get this message when trying to do a system resore "No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive. To create system restore point open System Protection.I have checked that system protection is turned on and the option selected is "Restore system settings and previous versions of files".I have also set the maximum Usage to 30GB. I have tried to create a couple of restore point and it goes through the motions OK but on checking find that none have been created!I have AVG 2012 fully updated and have run a full scan also have the latest Malwarebytes installed and ran a scan with that.

I own a 4GB Thinkpad SL510 laptop, running Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit w SP1 installed.Lately, I have noticed that my System Restore points disappear. When I open SR and look for restore points, none are there.To test this,I create one and it creates successfully. I go back and check after a while....and it's GONE. There is no apparent pattern of WHEN they disappear. Sometimes they go after a re-boot, sometimes they stay around for a day or so, then disappear. Sometimes they go away while the computer is still on.I would guess that this started about 1 week ago...at least that's when I first noticed it.There is a common error in the event log which I attached here. This seems to coincide with the time I no longer have restore points.The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of an IO failure on volume C:.I increased the amount of space for system restore to 40GB (which should be more than enough...this is 20% of my C Drive. I used to have this at 10% with no problems in the past.I've scanned for viruses and nothing comes up.I also ran CHKDSK C: /f /r and I found 4kb with bad sectors but no other areas.

I noticed my restore points were being deleted for some reason and I went to the System restore settings of my computer, and being oblivious to what I was looking at I confused my recovery drive with my C: and I turned it on and gave it a gig of disk space usage. After I realized I was configuring the wrong one I went back turned it off and deleted restore points but It won't let me put the max usage back to zero it will only let me keep it at 2% (320.00MB).Is this going to cause any problems or is it fine?

There were many, many restore points before. I have recovered the entire contents of C: with Recuva. What do the restore points look like?

Why are my Windows system restore points disappearing?I am having problems with my system restore points in Windows 7. I create the restore points, but when after I shut down my PC, they are gone. This is happening with all restore points that the system creates also, such as when it installs updates. I have tried everything suggested online. I made sure that system restore is on, I checked the service, and I set volume shadowing to automatic. Why are Windows system restore points disappearing?

I got message in Word that there was insufficienmt memory to perform an operation so I rebooted. My PC wouldn't reboot and there was no last known good configuration so I ended up having to reinstall windows (had only installed it a month ago) Why should there have been no restore pointsa? Doesn't it automatically set them?

In my system I have three operating systems installed for me to boot into - Windows 7, XP & Ubuntu. Windows 7 is the default and probably even the most used one.The problem is that each time I boot into Windows XP, Windows 7's system restore points get wiped out totally. The same does not happen with XP though.

I wouldn't go so far to say, I'm totally computer illiterate, but not far from it.. If there's anyone out there, who's up for a challenge I'm running windows 7. I am the administrator. Someone I don't trust at all, used my PC a while back. After he (did whatever he did) I noticed I couldn't access several files. I get a "access denied" or you don't have permission to view this file, owner info etc.. I can see a lot of the files, but their either empty now or I can't view them. I have used restore many times in the past, but now I get a message " no restore points".. I don't know what he did, or if he did anything.. It could be one of my kids changed properties by mistake, before I wised up and created a basic user acct w/ limited access for them.. I almost forgot. When I go into file properties there is a red x by my user name (administrator) Not in every property, but several.. Sometimes there is a red x by other user names, as well, but mostly mine.

I had reason to check my System Restore function today and found only 3 points to choose from. One from July 15, 2012, another from 2011 and the last from 2010. Obviously two of them are worthless. I understood that a new restore point should be added each week, or at a major change of some sort. How do I change this so that more points are added as time goes by? One each week would be just fine. I can't find this option in Win 7 as I recall was available in XP.

I have windows t pro and all of a sudden System restore has disappeared. If I type system restore in the search box, the closest thing I get is "restore your computer to am earlier time".checked c:UsersYourNameApplicationDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStartMenuProgramsAccessoriesSystem Tools and it's not their either. I have a feeling it was a Paragon Drive Clone program that screwed everything up. It even turned on system protection for one of my other drives. Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider was also off.

I am having some issues playing Starcraft II that I didn't use to have when I first assembled the computer. I wanted to restore back to where I was several months ago, but the restore point isn't listed in System Restore. In fact, only 3 restore points are offered and they are all in the last few days.I looked at the space available to save these restore points and it was only using 1.59 GB of an allowed 2% which is 10 GB

When my PC wouldn't boot a few months back I thought I was safe with system restor. Wrong , there were no points there to restore to. A few week ago when I was having problems there were no restore points either and I discovered the upgrade install method, and got going again. Having recently been helped with PC crashing several times a day (by uninstalling catalyst Control Centre), I seem to be up and running normally again, but there are no rstore points. I asked about this serveal months back and I seem to remember that there is no automatic creation of restore points (ideally twice a week would be good). I followed instructions to set this up, but still they weren';t there when I needed them.
