Cannot Create System Restore Point in Windows 10

How-To
How to Fix and Repair Computer Errors and Problems

If WinSysClean or other software cannot create a System Restore Point in Windows 10 then probably the SRP is turned off.
Here is how you can turn back on the System Restore Point in Windows 10:

  1. In Windows Search type Settings
  2. In Settings Search type Create a restore point
  3. Select the System Drive and click the Configure button
    cannot create system restore point windows 10
  4. Turn on System Protection
    cannot create system restore point windows 10

Now you should be able to create a System Restore Point.

If the System Protection option is grayed / disabled then probably you have an antivirus or tune-up software which have stopped the restore point service in Windows. Be careful what tune-up tool you use, many tools stop important services in Windows and they claim that they made your PC faster.

 

If you still does not work, open a Command Prompt (as Administrator) and run
sfc /scannow
