    Did not work.....looking at script it does not show W10 support for "GetOS" but tried anyway.
    No RP created and gave me VSS error.

    Note, creating one manually in Control Panel > System works fine.
    Running........
    cmd.exe /k "wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore Call CreateRestorePoint "My Shortcut Restore Point", 100, 7"
    ....works fine.

    Hello Peter,

    "100" is for creating the restore point, and the last number (ex: "4") is to specify the "Type" of restore point.

    Yes, I am registered there, but a search didn't help me much wrt system restore.

    I therefor asked if I need to change something within these files to make them work on Win11, because although this is a Win10 forum, the files/scripts are made for OS as far back as winXP.

    thanks anyway

    You need to ask the question about Win 11 on the Win 11 forum.

    Many of the members here are also members there. As it's a newer forum, there will be fewer posts to search and less accumulated experience recorded.

    You can help with that by posting there. Thank you.

    Brink,


    People are making use of this tutorial's scripts in Windows 11 so are having to modify the scripts to suit that OS.
    Please consider making this tutorial into a combined one for Windows 10 & Windows 11.

    I think all you need to do is amend one line in each of your scripts to make them work correctly in both 10 & 11:
    Change this line from
    Code:
    If GetOS = "Windows 8" Or GetOS = "Windows 10" Then
    to
    Code:
    If GetOS = "Windows 8" Or GetOS = "Windows 10" Or GetOS = "Windows 11" Then


    All the best,
    Denis
