They both work !

Not just me but I bet others...some listed in this thread.......others not knowing that their RPs are not being created. After all, how many people check since 8/30 MS updates ?
Dumb question...I...

Here is your code(s) with the 0 to 7 changes.........these work for me.......
I freely admit I don't know the differences in the commands...haven't looked at that close.

100, 0 change to your script gives this error.100369

I found the MS site on the CreateRestorePoint
CreateRestorePoint method of the SystemRestore class (Windows)
I see what you are saying but...

OK....made the change in original VBS and works !!!!! ....no VSS errors.
Changed "0" to "7"...you can see it even gives your script name "instant restore point".
Clearly this parameter has changed...

One other item to try as test...........
Below is your code from original VBS in beginning of thread.
Where is the "0" here ? .......

OK...done UAC works.

Here is what I did..........your original script on left, then your cut down one you sent, then new one, then new one where I changed to "7".

Hmmm.......just looked at UAC in CP>User & It is off.....will have to change that.

As far as "unblock" the thread you reference works on the ZIP file....in other words PROPERTIES has the unblock...

OK...tried the first one but go no UAC prompt.......did not create RP & VSS error.

Agreed.........CMD is brute force but works in mean time.

Happy to try what you come up with.
My suggestion is you will create a script with a lot of IF/THEN to ID things.
If you want to send me...

Yes, things ventured can really F-Up things. :sick:

And YES, if you read in prior parts of thread there is no .BAK in registry for User Profile.
Look at my post #63: System Restore Point shortcut...

Sorry, but the problem is not with our PCs (O/S).....it is with the script.
I ran SFC and no integrity issues.
Also, the VSS works fine with both the manual CP > System & also CMD line creation....

I mean this in the most light hearted way....YEAH !!!!
Thought I was going crazy and the experts here I think were wondering if it is a "poster system one-off issue". ;)
Anyway, welcome aboard !!!!...

Look at post #61....it says handler issue.

Yup, this only starting failing on August 30th when the W10 Version 1607 14393.82 to .105 came out.

Also, with the other poster above talking about multiple HDDs I went ahead and attached a USB...

FYI...I also disabled Defender, MBAM & MBAE in the event they were blocking scripts....still did not work.
All I can summize is that the "call" to the VSS is no longer valid within the syntax of the...

Did not work.....looking at script it does not show W10 support for "GetOS" but tried anyway.
No RP created and gave me VSS error.

Note, creating one manually in Control Panel > System works...

It did not work.........gave me message to type in name, came back after 10-20seconds and said completed.
No RP created in list, VSS error in Event Viewer.
