No worries. In the trash it goes...:-)
No switch. Thanks again for all of your help! These things are like $7 so I think at this point I'll just toss it...
Thanks again for helping. Yes, I've found and tried those instructions prior to posting. Nothing seems to work. It is ridiculous that Windows basically trashes a perfectly good USB stick when it...
Thanks. Yes I have issued the ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY command and it indicates that it completes but the current read only state never changes. I've tried it many times. Probably going to just...
I don't need it as a recovery drive and currently it is useless to me because it is set as read only. All I want to do is make it read/write so I can format it and use it as a regular USB drive. So...
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried that before but always get an error when I run the clean command. I tried it again just now and here is what I get:

I used the "Create recovery drive" tool in Windows 10 to create a recovery drive on a USB stick. I no longer need that recovery drive and would like to use the USB stick for other things. I have been...
I understand that. Point is, programs should not do this without notification. Or if they do it, they should return it to it's previous state when they are done. I can't think of another example like...
I have tried it with and without that setting. It makes no difference. The only thing that setting does is disable the wizard. In other words, in the case where you want to ensure that USERS of the...
I'm still experiencing this problem. I still have not been able to determine exactly what keeps turning system protection back on. Sometimes it stays off for many weeks and so I sort of get tired of...
It's been over a week now and system protection/restore has stayed off. In that time I have updated a few drivers, bios, and installed 2 applications and updated a couple more. There have been no...
Macrium can do exactly what you are asking for. When you do the restore with Macrium just make sure to use Rapid Delta Restore (a new feature introduced with v6) which makes the restore happen very...
Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Found another thread on the same subject -...
I use Macrium as well and am having the same problem keeping system protection/restore turned off. Having been working on this issue for 2 weeks or so now. The suggestions on how to disable the menu...
I'm certainly no expert :) but giving these methods a careful read they all say that they allow you to disable the ability to turn on/off system protection/restore. In other words, in the case where...
While Macrium does use VSS I don't think system restore has to be enabled for VSS. As an example, I have Macrium set to run daily. When I use the menu to disable system restore sometimes is stays off...
Macrium has nothing to do with system restore. It doesn't need or use it. Macrium Reflect is backup/image software. Because I use Macrium Reflect to take daily system images/backups I do not want or...
Sorry, I don't really understand that logic. Take a look at my OP, I have daily backups. I don't need or want system restore/protection on. Why have a menu that "supposedly" turns it off (actually it...
What I want to do is turn off system restore and not have it turned on again without me doing it. Sorry but I thought that I was clear. I turn it off using the menu and confirm that it is off. I...
That didn't work. Checked today and system protection was turned back on. And since I had followed the procedure recommended, I cant turn it back off until I reverse the procedure because the...
That was user error on my part...I did look in the wrong place. Found the setting and disabled it. So now system restore is turned off and the ability to change it is grayed out in that menu. I'll...
Thanks for the help, I certainly could have been looking in the wrong place but I could not find those entries in the policy editor. I'll give it another shot tomorrow and post what I find.
The menus have changed in that area so that tutorial unfortunately did not help.
The previous post did get me thinking. Now I'm wondering if it is due to driver updates. I did notice that a driver was updated some time before I noticed that system protection was turned back on. I...
Thanks but I have been deleting all restore points prior to turning it off.
