Windows automatically creates restore points to help you recover your system in case of issues or errors. If you want to disable automatic restore point creation, here's how you can do it:
- Using System Protection:
a. Type "Create a restore point" in the Windows search bar and open the corresponding result.
b. In the "System Properties" window, go to the "System Protection" tab.
c. Select the drive for which you want to disable restore points and click the "Configure" button.
d. In the "Restore Settings" section, select the option "Turn off system protection." This will disable automatic restore point creation for that drive.
e. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
Using Group Policy:
a. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box, then type "gpedit.msc" and press Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
b. Navigate to "Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "System" > "System Restore."
c. On the right side, double-click on "Turn off Configuration" to open its properties.
d. Select the "Enabled" option to turn off automatic restore point creation.
e. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
