Task Scheduler fails to schedule Restore Point Creation
I have set up the following in Task Scheduler:-
Attachment 50990
However it does not work!
Any ideas anyone?
PS: How can I enable history?

Hi, presumably you have ensured that system restore is enabled (it's disabled by default in Win 10). Forgive the obvious question..:)
From Shawn's tutorial on this in eightforums I noted:
- System Restore in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 creates a scheduled restore point only if no other restore points have been created in the last 7 days.
Maybe that applies in '10.
I remember there's a task that looks as if it should do this, and I went through exactly what you've done, then found it doesn't. whether this is it, I can't recall.
The definitive solution which I've used for a long time is to install a small utility by Shawn and set up my own task.
System Restore Point Shortcut - Windows 7 Help Forums
I've noted that MS seems to now not create restore points before updates.. and seen that comment elsewhere..
Yes it is enabled.
I have just checked the content of one of the script files and it looks like it does not contain support for Windows 10:-
If instr(objOS.Caption, "Windows 8") Then
GetOS = "Windows 8"
elseIf instr(objOS.Caption, "Windows 7") Then
GetOS = "Windows 7"
elseIf instr(objOS.Caption, "Vista") Then
GetOS = "Windows Vista"
elseIf instr(objOS.Caption, "Windows XP") Then
GetOS = "Windows XP"
End If
Did you modify the files from the Windows 7 forum, or is there a newer version?
PS:
I've found the Windows 10 version. :)
