  1. A question about system image restore and restore point.


    Hi, I'm planning to do those registry changes to make the boot animation go from spinning dots to that ring. So, I want to make a restore point and also create a system image in case anything happens and my system won't boot up. So, do I need to keep the system image on a separate hard drive or can I keep it on the same C Drive? And will the system restore and the system image point restore my registry to before it was changed if I create both of them before I make the registry changes to make the boot animation go from spinning dots to that ring? I'm running 11 Pro 22000.318 no insider no TPM

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CA question about system image restore and restore point. :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CA question about system image restore and restore point. :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.

    Automatic System Image Restore Points - Question

    Rhina -

    Thanks for the reply and the link. I have a follow-up question on a comment made in the link, but first I would like to ask a followup on my original post question.

    The screenshot I originally sent listed the automated restore points. When I did a restore in the Safe Mode, the automated restore points were not listed. Why is that?

    See below.

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    You will be asked to choose an administrator account and supply it's password, then the Command Prompt will open.

    Type the commands DISKPART then LIST VOL and EXIT to see a list of all drives, in this example the Windows system is on the C: drive, yours may have a different letter. Whatever the letter is, type it followed by a colon to switch to that drive, in this example I typed C:

    Then use the CD (change directory) command CD System Volume Information\WindowsImageBackup

    Use the DIR command to check you are in the right folder, then use DEL to delete the contents of each of the Catalog and SPPMetadataCache folders.

    Youn can now close the command prompt window (or type EXIT) to restart the PC and go back to Windows.

    All System Image Restore points of type 'Backup' will now have gone.
