If you 're looking for a way to automatically create system restore points in Windows 10 then continue with this tutorial. As you may know, the System Restore tool allows you to revert Windows to an earlier working state (point in time), and it used to recover Windows if something goes wrong and Windows does not work properly.

By default, System Restore automatically creates a restore point once per week and also before major events like an app or driver installation. If you want even more protection, you can force Windows to create a restore point automatically every time you start your PC.

System Restore is an important tool that can help you recover from many different types of problems. The only trouble is that when restoring to a previous restore point, you reverse many of the changes made to your PC since that restore point was created. These changes include apps and drivers that have been installed or uninstalled, changes that apps have made to the Registry and settings files, and Windows updates that have been applied. System Restore does create weekly restore points for you—and you can create your own manual restore points—but for a little more peace of mind, you can also have System Restore create a restore point every time Windows starts.

Making this change requires two steps. First, you’ll use the Windows Registry to change the frequency at which Windows can trigger automatic restore points, and then you’ll use Task Scheduler to set a startup task that creates a restore point.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).

Straight forward & no fluff

Sir, is it possible to make the previous restore point to get deleted automatically after creating a new one..??

[CrashfighterLetsPlay]

Thx a lot, works perfectly fine on Windows 11 as well!

Thank you, so much. This has been the first time I have performed many actions when after clicking ok the next screen had what you show and I could move on, always for me a tab, an ok box, something was always missing.

@MDTechVideos I have the same issue and questions as @jayjoyce9212 I've had Windows automatic updates brick multiple computers. When I manually create restore points they are easy to find. I created a task to automate it at login using this guide on one PC and daily at a specific time on another PC. Then manually ran the scheduled task and I couldn't find the restore point it should have created. @MDTechVideos could you please update your video with how to find the restore points created? Could you also give a brief explanation of the additional arguments you suggest adding instead of expecting us to blindly follow your advice? Thanks in advance.

[Deej]

I tried this and received an error in the "Last Run Result" - The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80080002) Did I do something wrong?

[danatmonst]

Thank you so much for this! Now wouldn't it have been awesome if Microsoft had a simple button to enable it to run daily like in WinXP? I couldn't find it anywhere in Win10, so thank you much for this tutorial. New sub from me :)

[andyuk]

Thanks very much great tutorial, I just wish I had done this a few weeks ago would have saved so much trouble.

I followed all of these steps and set it for weekly every Sunday, starting from 16/01/22, but when I checked the restore points created using the ‘Run’ dialogue box, there is no automatic restore point listed for the 16th. I assume there should be a listing here for every restore point created every Sunday - is that right? If so, mine hasn’t worked for some reason…

[rtriution_znith_point_z]

Just getting up a fresh install again. Does this automate the process to delete all other previous restore points. I dont want them clogging up space because i have it set to daily. can you advise on what to add this this task if not. Thank you.

Hello! Lately when I power up my computer it stays on the BIOS intro boot screen with a spinning Circle that repairs Drive em and Drive El which I actually do not have installed on my computer! Also drive and Mandel show up under my computer but there's nothing on them they don't exist it ghost drives I followed your directions to the letter it did not work they are still there! When I try to do a system restore the system restore page just sits there and says searching and none of my drives come up I had previously on configure all of my spare drives and only left my C drive configured not sure if that has anything to do with it don't even know how to get back to that? What else can I try to get rid of these two ghost drives so when I boot my computer it doesn't go through 20 minutes of scanning and repairing non-existent drives?

finally a tutorial that works for me (win 11). thanks!
