Creating Restore Points

[Bill Hepworth]

Is there any way to automatically create system restore points?

Hi Bill,

By default System Restore creates restore points every 24 hours. I am
assuming this is not the case here.

Here are some troubleshooting steps to take when System Restore fails to
create an automatic restore point:

Not to worry: Windows does that for you.

Automatic System CheckPoints are created for every 10 hours of computer up
time but only after the computer has been idle for 2 minutes. If this
criterion is not met, then a System CheckPoint will be created once every 24
hours after the system has been idle for 2 minutes.

Restore points are created by Installer packages that use the new Microsoft
Software Installer (MSI) technology.

Restore points are created by Installer packages that use InstallShield 6.1
Pro and later.

Restore points are created when AutoUpdate (AU) installs an update package.

Restore points are created when you use System Restore to roll your system
back to a different Restore Point. However, if this is done in Safe Mode, a
Restore Point will not be created.
