System Protection ON/OFF differences in Feature updates
Opinions please.
Sometimes I’d like to be able to explain to people I help as to what’s going on. For those whose computers need System Protection to be turned ON, it’s confusing them as to why.
Is there rhyme or reason or technicalities as to how it’s determined that some computers react differently.
I’ve been monitoring them on a few computers I’ve been involved in recently.
The information I’m including in this thread applies to Feature update 1803, but I’ve seen the same differences before: I do not know if the differences apply only to Feature updates but I don’t recall such differences in Cumulative updates.
Recently my brother asked me to check out his computer.
Ran Belarc as I was interest on what his computer consisted of in one easy to read simple report.
Noticed Version 1803 (build 17134.112) Installed: 5/13/2018
To me that’s fine but to him he had no idea of what that means.
Then I checked out the System Restore points.
He has no idea what that is either but it was interesting to me he did not have to turn on System Protection and he is the only one using his computer.
But 16 days after Version 1803 (build 17134.112) was installed an Automatic Restore Point was created.
--- I wish I had another computer to monitor to see if it might be a common occurrence.
I have monitored whether System Protection needed to be turned ON or was automatically ON on a few computers updated to Feature update 1803.
OFF 3 (All of these had been upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10)
Automatically ON 3
--- One of these had been upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10
--- One of these had been upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10
--- One of these is my brother’s new computer that came with Windows 10
