If you have an M$ account you already have an inbuilt full system backup.
Which you can gain access to on any computer anywhere on this planet.

How do I access a computer dead because disk is gone or buggered up ?

Download the latest ISA and sign in to your account.

On a dead computer ?

Change the faulty disc or SSD.....remember that your computer is recognised by M$ by its motherboard.

There must be something more to it than just a blanket 'OFF' switch. I have upgraded most of my machines to 1903 now. Before the upgrade some had their System Protection turned on, others had it turned off. In each case System Protection remained set as it was before the upgrade.

Same thing with me...to be honest System Restore has never been turned off in any FU, as far as I remember!

So I have all backed up where, One drive that can take 10% of my data and days to download ? No thanks, with my backup disk I'm back in business in 15 minutes.

Yes, there must be other factors at play. Not having had it turned off on my machines I haven't any means to explore what they may be...

I do have my own list of 'things that get reset' though.

1. Turned on auto Defrag for all drives. (I like it turned off)
2. Turned back on Password Protected Sharing (I keep it turned off)
3. Turned off details pane in File Explorer.
4. File copy reset to 'fewer details'
5. Task Manager reset to 'fewer details'

I also have the problem with (2), (5) ---which I change, like you do--- and I should also add, setting PhotoViewer as default viewer for jpg and png files, which gets lost after each FU.
