  1. I do not have a RPLifeInterval  entry.

    Should I?  Will creating one correct my problem ?

    Adding a screen shot of the System Restore folder.  The one item I am concerned with is the RestoreStatusDescription.  But what about the others?

    And note the subfolder "Error Report files"  that was not there before all this started.

  2. Ive been running the pc without ccleaner and malware bytes all week. Weds i “installed” this time the portable version of ccleaner.  Ran the cleaner and then the registry cleaner - but only deleted entries of the programs I uninstalled sine last weekend. Last nite installed and ran malware bytes - which reported pc being clean.

    so far with all this testing, I dont think its any of the 3rd party programs or the antivirus program.  I had uninstalled webroot and began using Windows Defender - but even with Defender I was losing the restore points. 

    How did you add “Scheduled Checkpoint” ?

    I tried setting up so that a restore point would be created each time I boot up - but  cant. Its weird, its as if the system shows Restore points enabled but actually its not.  

  3. Update:  I think the culprit is Webroot secure Anywhere.  I am not (yet?) convinced its a Windows OS issue.

    Its now 7:30 and earlier restore points still showing.

    So after removing :  Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, Aomei Backupper, CCleaner & running error checker, chkdsk /F C.
    I then uninstalled the Webroot (now using Windows Defender).

    My manually created restore points have NOT disappeared since uninstalling Webroot.  SO, there must have been a settiing within Webroot affecting System Restore and VSS.

    I would like to think that Webroot a better A/V then Defender - so have asked Webroot Tech folks for a fix.

    Oh and also last nite I changed the virtual memory/page file from system managed to mim of 16,384 and Max of 49,152  - I have 16GB or RAM.  But that did not seem to work.

     

  4. Storage Sense is disabled.

    Yes I had deleted Malwarebytes & CCleaner.  I just removed Webroot and now using Windows Defender. Created a restore point and will check again around 6:30/7pm. Also just did a reboot (wonder if I should have done a full shutdown and then a start up).  Also removed Aomie Backerupper - just in case that was the culprit.

    If then ALL good, then my problem is with Webroot and not sure where the setting within it might be that is removing restore points. 

     

  5. Attaching the log.  And regarding the mention of the tool in that #2 post you mentioned. I thought it was part of an add, so I overlooked it.

    Also including Webroot system scan.  (only one issue found - something about explorer.exe - but not clear what exactly).

    I am about to uninstall CCleaner.  The manual restore points from this am are gone already so the mention above about 6pm not a factor or a clue.  And I got rid of Norton as it was causing a lot of other issues.  And not sure if restore points missing then as was not paying attention. Also since then, one of the microsoft solutios was to turn off the System Restore Point feature - so of course any old ones I had are long gone.  Now using Webroot Secure Anyware - as it came with the Best Buy Geek squad 1 yr protection.  If after removing CCleaner my just now created restore point is missing in 2 hrs, then I'll remove Webroot and use the Windows Defender. If still then same restore problem with Defender - then this must be a Windows OS issue.  I may not be back on the forum for another 2 yrs...

  6. I removed Malwarebytes but still have the problem.  I have not yet removed Ccleaner.

    An odd thing is that yesterday a short day at work, so came home and began toying with the PC. Created a manual restore point and all seemed fine until the evening. So IS something on the system wiping points out after 6pm or just a big coincidence?

    anything noticble from my Wiztree scan?
