System restore not working

[Richard Kingdon]

All of my system restore checkpoints have disappeared. System restore is
switched on as normal and I have done nothing to the computer. Every time I
create a new checkpoint I find that the next day it is not there. Is there
any way I can get it working again without having to reinstall my system?
Thanks, Richard.

Hi Richard,

There are several reasons this may occur. Let's take a look at Event
Viewer for any System Restore logs that may have been created recently
that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title “Source” at the top of the source name column in
the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the
two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event
information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two
event here.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?
