Try the following:

1. Click here to download my .bat file.
2. Double-click to run it.
3. On completion, find the task "Create_a_restore_point" in Task Scheduler.
4. Right-click on the task name-->"Properties"-->"Actions"-->"Edit". Replace the file path with the following one:

Any chance to do it without creating a task in Task Scheduler?

1. Click here to download "For_Cirus.bat", which will not create a task.
2. In the .bat file, find this line: Set "【Path】=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
3. Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with the following:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:XXX\Administrator /savecred "C:\ProgramData\_SERVICE\Create Restore Point\Create Restore Point.cmd"

Be careful not to delete the quotation mark after XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Did I catch you correctly?
Set "【Path】=C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:XXX\Administrator /savecred "C:\ProgramData\_SERVICE\Create Restore Point\Create Restore Point.cmd""

I'm asking because your bat created the context menu but when I launch it I get the following error message:

@Brink i hope this batch script is helpful.

With this batch script you can add or remove create restore point context menu in Windows 10.

Do a test with the following:
Set "【Path】="%WinDir%\Notepad.exe" /A "%WinDir%\WindowsUpdate.log""
See whether the .log file will be opened.

@Matthew Wai
I here attach the portion of registry handled by your .bat HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT-Directory-background-shell-Create a restore point.reg

Try the following:

Code:

Set "【Path】="runas.exe" /user:XXX\Administrator /savecred "C:\ProgramData\_SERVICE\Create Restore Point\Create Restore Point.cmd""

It should use "runas.exe" to run "C:\ProgramData\_SERVICE\Create Restore Point\Create Restore Point.cmd". Quotation marks are needed in "runas.exe".
