System recovery restore point missing
4.5
A restore point you previously created has disappeared from the system.
Symptoms
- Specific date missing
- Only one point available
- Recent points gone
Possible Causes
- Low disk space
- CCleaner/Optimization tools
- Dual boot conflicts
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Optimization Apps
Ensure apps like CCleaner aren't set to "Wipe System Restore Points".
2
Increase Shadow Copy Space
Use "vssadmin resize shadowstorage" in CMD to give more room for points.
3
Check Event Viewer
Look for "VolSnap" errors to see why points are being deleted.
When to See a Technician
If you dual-boot with an older version of Windows, it may delete the restore points of the newer version.
