System Restore and Checkpoint

[Guest]

I read the following about System Checkpoint: "Scheduled System Checkpoints
(every 24 Hrs by default) are also only created at system idle time so that
their creation never interferes with any user using the machine."
I looked at my desktop and noticed the following System Checkpoints for
October:
10/4; 10/11; 10/23; 10/13; 10/16; 10/17; 10/19; 10/22. and 10/28.
I looked at my laptop which I don't use as often as the desktop, but do
manage to keep it updated, maybe every two or three days. I only see one
System Checkpoint on 10/22.
Can anyone explain...
#1- why the laptop doesn't have more System Checkpoints for October?
#2- and why the desktop doesn't have System Checkpoint every day (if the
default is every 24 hours)?
Thanks for any help.

Was the laptop turned on for the days with no restore point? In addition to
restore points created automatically on a scheduled basis, you can manually
create checkpoints too.
