great

Noticed my System Protection was not enabled.
Can't click on the "Turn on......" Does nothing when I try to "Turn on...."
Attached a pic.

 

Hello cfourkays,

Double check in Group Policy to see if you may have a policy enabled that has disabled this.

Group Policy Editor - Quickly View Enabled Policies in Windows - Windows 7 Help blog

You can also try to run this via CMD as admin:

reg delete "HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTSystemRestore" /v "DisableSR" /f
reg delete "HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTSystemRestore" /v "DisableConfig" /f
reg add "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSPPClients" /v " {09F7EDC5-294E-4180-AF6A-FB0E6A0E9513}" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "1" /f

Hi Shawn,
Couldn't locate in the GPSettings.

TairikuOkami,
Couldn't find the 2 keys to delete so I added the last key.

I don't know where you found this but it worked.

Noticed it wasn't working when I tried to create an RP prior to installing the new Build 10532

Thanks to both

Pete

 

Great news Pete.

Just checked my work laptop with W-10 and found the same thing.
Adding that Reg key also fixed it.

TairikuOkami,
The first 2 keys were not found on this PC also.

Glad it worked out, took me some time to find the key hidden in the depths of the internet.

Thank you TairikuOkami, your solution worked great. Don't know how restore got turned off though.
thanks Jeff

Hi,

This looks promising but I tried opening up CMD as admin (and it could not find the two entries to delete, as others above have experienced) but when I cut/paste and pressed 'enter' for the third command, it came back saying 'ERROR: Access is denied'.

The prompt is 'C: Windowssystem32>' - is that right and if not how do I change that?

As a user of PCs for 30 years, Windows 10 makes we want to cry. So frustrating - like an incomplete beta and just, broken.

Sussed it, I had to find CMD in 'apps' and right click, choose 'run as administrator'. Then it accepted that key.

I can now turn on System Restore.

Thanks a lot!
