SR is off the default in Win10.
The primary reason - with Win10 providing major o/s
updates[currently on
the second update(aka 1511)with the 3rd(16xx)expected to be released
this summer]any prior SR point becomes useless after an o/s update.

i.e. if enabling System Restore make a note to reset it after each and
every major update. In fact, it may be appropriate to wipe all SR
points
and disable prior to installing a major Win10 update and only before
creating an image of the System and Boot Volume(Win10's System Image
and
o/s partitions).

So... one wipes all SR points, installs the major Win10 update that
screws up their system
(again), and then what???

SR's won't be of any value since they would not apply to what is
effectively a new O/S.
Clone or image prior to major upgrades.

I was making a point about the increasing amount of unpredictable
down-time that is being foisted on businesses by Win10's update
policies. The reality is that a lot of the hardware and applications
that businesses depend on are *way* behind even Windows 8.1. Unless one
can indefinitely delay (if not completely avoid) those updates cloning
and imaging will not help.

Business running Enterprise version are not seeing the Win10 update.
if a business is not running an Enterprise version, then if not having a
sound backup plan for existing devices to restore(image, clone,
redeploy) when running 7/8x the business would be at risk and one might
even say foolish.

On the Win10 side business should be using W10 Pro or Enterprise
- each providing the option to delay or even disable Win10 upgrades.
If using Win10 Home instead of Pro or Enterprise - they may have made
the wrong choice of o/s.
