I tried searching for a way to disable windows from automatically creating system restore points but i couldnt find anything besides some guides made for windows 7/8 plus an answer from microsoft that tells me to disable system protection and then create a manual restore point afterwards which doesnt make any sense since you cant do that when system protection is disabled.
I want to create my own restore points manually so it wont take up all the space and so the old ones wont get deleted.
I think we've stated it can't be done. And there's good reason- Windows is a moving target.so the old ones wont get deleted.
You can create your own manually from the GUI; the Tutorial also advises how to do this on a schedule you set up.
Never depend solely on System Restore. Consider- disk failure will render system restore useless.
If you want to back up the registry - part of what System Restore protects- you can. Various programs support that for your convenience. But that's not such a great way to secure your system.
There is NO choice, its ALL or NOTHING.
What about other programs that automatically create restore points, at the moment, there are loads of them.
and on the other hand, cleaner/tuneup utility programs that remove them after X days.

I do not use system restore at all, it never has been fully reliable so I just make an Image using Macrium Image at least once a day. It takes less that 3 minutes and it is very reliable.
Ok, so I cannot seem to get the task schedular to work. I have tried enabling microsoft net framework, tried a sfc /scannow and a chkdsk that came up with no problems.
Is there another way to disable the automatic creation of system restore points?
