Ok. I'll be happy to help.
That was user error on my part...I did look in the wrong place. Found the setting and disabled it. So now system restore is turned off and the ability to change it is grayed out in that menu. I'll give a few days to a week and see if system restore stays turned off. Thanks!

It seems that system restore is disabled by default on small disks but not larger ones. That seemed the consensus in this thread anyway Solved Why is system restore disabled by default? - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums
Reading that thread that is just speculation with no evidence. I have three devices I use
1) tablet with 32 GB mmc drive upgraded from 8.1+Bing
2) laptop with 256 GB ssd for os and 1 TB hdd for data, upgrade from 8.1
3) laptop with 1TB HDD, upgraded from windows
All systems from completely different vendors
In all cases, system restore was switched on before upgrade. On all cases, it was off after upgrade.
Turned restore on - all upgraded to TH2 - setting back to off.
Backed up laptop with 1TB drive only - wiped drive and clean installed 10 TH2 (to use this as my insider pc).
Setting again off.
So I do not believe it has anything to do with drive capacity.
Also using MS or local account has, no bearing either as made no difference.
Personally, I have not seen any case after a major update or clean install on any sized drive, or account type that sets restore to on.
Something else is going on, or it could just be a bug of course, but no obvious answer.
That didn't work. Checked today and system protection was turned back on. And since I had followed the procedure recommended, I cant turn it back off until I reverse the procedure because the selection is grayed out in the menu. At this point I have not found a way to permanently disable it. Even though I had turned it off, and followed the procedure to disable it, and the menu was grayed out, something still turned it back on. I am guessing that it was ether the installation of new software or a driver install since I did both yesterday. Seriously , there must be some way to turn it off so it doesn't come back on again...
