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

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

We will look into this thanks for reporting.

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

Please try Patch My PC v3.3.0.0 and let us know if this still happening.

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.
