Probably as its a new build. It makes a new Windows folder, renaming the old one.
You can roll back to the previous build. Thats as good as a system restore .
Can you make new restore points after this update ? Or is the service left disabled ?

"So, why major updates delete system restore points? That’s because you created all your previous system restore points in the previous Windows 10 version, and by performing system restore, you basically aim to roll back to that version, which is not possible. "

1424452 2016-08-15 03:01:00 It completely depends on how its done/installed.

Any Upgrade will disable system restore. A fresh / clean install wont.

If its disabled then turn it back on again if you want.


Relating tot eh second link above :D

Anyone remember the old joke that ends with guy saying "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer"

Well its actually true in some cases, ;) modern computers make people think and learn less, they want everything done for them and don't have a clue as to doing basic tasks.

1424453 2016-08-15 03:53:00 I have objected to restore being switched off for a long time. I know the previous restore points are useless but leaving the setting off is a PITA. Not so much for myself, as I am used to having to reset it back on every time I get an update, but all the people I have set up now will have it off.

I mean lots of other settings are left as they were, so why not the restore?

OK, I know some people don't like it set on but there are certainly instances when a restore can sort out niggly problems so easily. Used it just the other day to fix an issue with a faulty group policy setting.

Never mind but an explanation would be nice.

1424454 2016-08-15 23:16:00 Just an update.
Working my way through the systems here.
Just done a Win 10 Pro & it didn't disable system restore.
Others were just x32 home.

1424455 2016-08-16 00:40:00 Yes, a few don't get the setting changed so that is why an explanation would be good. My Insider comp has always had it turned off and ditto for the other three non-insiders (2 Pro and 1 Home).

Anyway, I have had a really good run with win 10 since Oct 2014 so I am grateful for that!!

1424456 2016-08-16 01:55:00 I checked Win10 AE on the laptop. Yes, system restore is off , not good.
Hopefully MS will release a patch/update to fix that , there will many thousands affected by this .

1424457 2016-08-16 02:38:00 I can't see MS patching for the restore reset as they have been aware of this for heaps of Insider updates. If they thought this was a problem, surely they would have fixed it before the AU? linw (53)
1424458 2016-08-16 12:06:00 I put in Win 10 AE a few days ago. System restore works fine. Jayess64 (8703)
1424459 2016-08-17 00:55:00 Someone asked the same question here (answers.microsoft.com)

I dont use it myself. Never have. I usually disable it. The only thing it does for me is use up space
