Win+R batch command to create a system restore point any time I want to create one
Due to BSOD issues often cannibalizing the Windows 10 boot, I am creating
frequent restore points but I would like to script the restore point creation with a batch command from the Win+R "Run" command box. What am I doing wrong? 1. I can manually create a restore point any time I want to: Win+R sysdm.cpl [System Protection][Create] (This takes a minute to run to completion.) 2. When I look, that restore point is always created. Win+R sysdm.cpl [System Protection][System Restore] (_)Recommended restore (o)Choose a different restore point [Next] [x]Show more restore points (I see all the many restore points that I manually created.) 3. But I want to script it, where I created this shortcut: TARGET: %comspec% /k "wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore Call CreateRestorePoint "My Shortcut Restore Point", 100, 7" ICONFROM: C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll [Advanced][x]Run as administrator 4. When executed the command "appears" to work (albeit too quickly so): Executing (SystemRestore)-CreateRestorePoint() Method execution successful. Out Parameters: instance of __PARAMETERS { ReturnValue = 0; }; C:\Windows\system32 (This takes only a split second to run to completion.) 4. But, when I look if the restore point was created, it doesn't exist: Win+R sysdm.cpl [System Protection][System Restore] (_)Recommended restore (o)Choose a different restore point [Next] [x]Show more restore points (I only see the restore points that I manually created.) What am I doing wrong? Do you have a batch script to create a restore point on the fly? -- Windows requires hundreds of tweaks to get it running efficiently. |
