Creating a Restore Point -- Folder says (Missing) - Why?  

Want to create new restore point . The win10 default has Win C (system) set to OFF; and Win C Folder stating MISSING. Why saying MISSING?

What is difference? And which should I turn ON (enable) to create new point -- C System or C Folder?

Hi, please see resolved thread

Did you clone your system drive? It's suggested that can give rise to this:

Yes, I use Casper image clone for "C" backups. I obviously used wrong search argument for my search, sorry.
I'm about to read your links, Thanks

The method suggested by those on this thread were correct. And to reiterate how simple/easy it was:

1. Highlighted the line item folder: Windows (C:) (Missing).
2. Disabled protection by selecting "Configure" then checking the disable protection box near top of config panel.
3. Entry magically disappeared.
4. Then highlighted the Windows C (System) line item & clicked "Configure" box.
5. Selected "Protection" and set space allocation size.
6. Then clicked "Create" restore point button. (see below)


Lastly out of curiosity, does anyone have a theory as to how exactly and when this issue is caused? I also attached the earlier Disk Mgmt panel below -- when issue existed.

Glad that worked out.. Not everyone who clones their disk seems to experience this.
