Title: Create Restore Point Pre-update not working
Post by: sirlampsalot on August 17, 2017, 05:36:02 AM
I am running Version3.2.0.0 on a Win 10 64 bit pc.

I turned on this option a week or so ago and have ran Path My PC successfully a few times with a number of updates applied.

It does gave the following message when I ran it today

"Creating a system restore point please wait

Patch My PC 3.2.0.0 | Definitions: 16-August-2017 | 2017-08-17 3:19:21 AM

Patch My PC Update Complete 2017-08-17 3:19:31 AM"

But no restore point was created.

I have turned on System protection for two drives. i can create a restore point manually from Control Panel - System - System Properties - System Protection.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Would you mind doing this?
Open an elevated command prompt and type is
vssadmin delete shadows /all
Then type Y to continue.
It should say "Successfully deleted X shadow copies." where X is a number
This will forcibly delete all restore points.

Reboot and report back please.

Hi - restore points are now being created - perhaps the latest update fixed this issue?

I did not delete my restore points as suggested.

Thanks

Still not working in 3.3.0.0.

But for some reason I do see a PatchMyPC Restore Point dated 6-12-2017 and 3-12-2017.Must have been made by the then current version.

Thanks.

Can you see if this is working in 4.0.0.61 beta? Just enable the beta channel in options and restart patch my pc.
