System recovery unable to locate restore points

4.5

The "System Restore" list is empty, even though you know you created points.

Symptoms
  • "No restore points found"
  • Empty list
  • Restore disabled
Possible Causes
  • Disk space limit reached
  • Windows Update cleared them
  • System Protection turned off

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Enable System Protection

Go to System Properties > System Protection and ensure it is ON.

2

Increase Disk Usage

Allow more space for restore points in the configuration menu.

3

Check Event Viewer

Look for "volsnap" errors that might explain why points were deleted.

When to See a Technician

Major Windows updates often delete old restore points to prevent compatibility issues.
