Those on Windows 10 will know that Microsoft have just released another update to the system.

One of the changes that I have noticed on our laptops (3) is that the 'system restore' function which I am sure many of you have found useful in the past has now defaulted to be switched off. Further, the update deletes all previous versions you may have had on your machine.

I suggest you switch it back on by going into the sytsem restore menu and using the configure button. Once you have switched it back on, I suggest you immediately create a restore point.

Hi Briang,

I have no problems with Windows 10, in fact very impressed. My concern is that the system restore is disabled by default.

I'll stick with my windows 7 for a few more months, let all the bugs get ironed out in 10. I suspect that microsoft are reviewing their security and intend to discard the earlier systems as they are not cost effective anymore, I seem to remember that windows xp is  no longer covered.......Cool

I have never found system restore to be very useful. If the problem is fixable then I usually fix it myself. If the problem is more complicated then system restore can't fix it anyway!

Have to agree with the OP, why this was done defy's logic. I had 5 System Restores as I delete older ones as time goes by, but this update Deleted User the lot and turned it off. I have now configured it again and made a Restore but only have the one after the update now, here's hoping its OK as I have nothing to revert to.

The update from W10 to the present W10 was a major build update so maybe reverting back was just not possible.

Been running W10 for about 4 months now and its very stable and speedy, dislike the Edge browser though so still with Firefox but the option is there.
