1406075 2015-08-07 04:15:00 A very strange problem,
System Restore points vanish after doing a system restart ie warm re-boot, and the corresponding files in System Volume Information have vamoosed.

Create a restore point again and then shut down followed by a cold boot and restore points remain, as they should.

This is consistently repeatable, and has caused angst when playing around and I wanted to restore, only to find the system restore window empty.

Could someone check their system to see if the same thing happens ?

(Changing virtual memory management from automatic to custom setting does not affect this)

(Changing virtual memory management from automatic to custom setting does not affect this) Yep had the same thing happen on Wednesday, went to do a restore from the previous day after testing some software that was questionable on W10 and all system points were gone. In fact it had actually disabled system restore, I certainly didn't disable it :(

Ended up laying back down a image I had made the day or so before that instead.

1406077 2015-08-07 09:57:00 Anyone checked System Restore points yet with both cold and warm reboots ?

This problem may be related to power settings in some way, if hibernation is turned off via powercfg -h off command, this removes hyberfil.sys file, then I lose restore points with both cold and warm reboots.

If I turn hibernate back on, then restore points are not lost with a cold reboot, only with warm reboot.................go figure.........:banana

The problem was most likely with my set up and maybe playing around a bit with arcane settings and commands :)

I found that system file checker found some corrupted files it could not repair, and also that the DVD drive was prone to disappearing which required a fiddle to get it back.

So I'm doing a new install and checking each major change to ensure all is OK.

Thanks for checking anyway. If I find the problem recurs with some known action, like synchronizing Firefox for example, I'll report back.


Cheers
