System restore was working a month ago. I'm aware it should not be used as my only backup. I did a system restore point about a month and a half ago prior to loading tax software, then more recently prior to uninstalling Acronis, Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware, without issue. Tonight I wanted to make a restore point prior to downloading another app and I ran into the following issues:
-selected "create a restore point", named it and it kept creating a restore point for a long time, 30+ minutes, always around 5 or 6 minutes for this machine, max, had to use Task Manager to stop it, end task
-found the config set to MAX...987GB
-sometimes I would get "searching for available drives", would never stop
-I checked to see what restore points were there, and the system said there were no available restore points
System Restore is turned on
I did a full scan with Windows Security/Defender, 1.2 hour, no threats found
I'm set up to install updates automatically.....any issues with the latest?
Any help would be appreciated.
