[German]Within this blog post, I would like to discuss two observations about system protection. After a Windows 10 install, the system protection is turned off. And it seems, that there are cases, where the computer protection might be activated by itself. This behavior makes System Restore a lottery game.<\/p>\n

Using system protection<\/h2>\n

\"\"System protection enables Windows system restore to create restore points using VSS. This provides users with the ability to rollback some changes within Windows (faulty driver installs, broken updates etc.). <\/p>\n

\"System <\/p>\n

But system protection needs to be active for a (Windows) drive. At tenforums.com is an article<\/a> discussing how to switch system protection on or off. <\/p>\n

System protection is disabled after Windows 10 install<\/h2>\n

System restore only works, if system protection is enabled for Windows drive. But there is a pitfall. Since a while, Windows 10 will be installed with system protection disabled by default. I don't know the reasons, there are a lot of speculations. If a user intends to use system restore, it's mandatory to check the state of system protection after each feature update (e.g. Fall Creators Update). <\/p>\n

Windows 10 enables system protection suddenly<\/h2>\n

But there seems to be another curious behavior. I received yesterday a mail from a German blog reader asking me, if I'm aware, that Windows 10 may active a disabled system protection. I haven't noticed such a thing, but the blog reader wrote in a 2nd mail: <\/p>\n

\n

In LTSB 2016 may deactivated system protection has been switched back to active, without user interaction. I get angry with this kind of thing, just like MS with updates always screws on my privacy settings. <\/p>\n

Is was the protection for C:, that was suddenly activated. I detected it, when I made image backup and the image was suddenly bigger than on another machine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The user told me, that he found a thread in the web with the same behavior. I guess it was this Microsoft Answers forum thread<\/a>, but this didn't deliver too much details. An older post about Windows 7 may be found here<\/a>. It is supposed, that an update or a software activates system protection. So my question is: Did somebody else observed this behavior? <\/p>\n
