:( I tried to run ' vssadmin list shadowstorage ' but nothing opened up/showed anything. Post above asked me to run this. Anyway, going to keep an eye on the config of SR (any idea why is is changing? :( )... :confused:

Click to expand...

please check in
settings > system > recovery > point in time restore
click the 'view or edit' button

you can check and adjust the restore allocated size there
system restore and point in time restore share the same space

or disable point in time restore if required
best of luck Steve ..

:( OK, I believe I found out wth is happening. When I received this used win10 laptop and converted to win 11, I set my usual restore point to 7% (now at 16.5GB with only 3 restore points at 3.59GB). upon logging off yesterday I had 4 restore points (still experimenting don't normally make so many in such a short time). :(

o_O Logging on this morning, I had only three restore points so I checked the configuration box and it cut my 7% down to above 3.59% (didn't write it down just switched it back to 7%). WTH could or would CHANGE my configured space in SR? Could it be vssadmin? o_O

From some quick reading as pointed out above by XxXxX, it appears the Point in Time Restore overrides the system restore settings. So, in essence you need to set the point in time restore percentage which will then set the system restore percentage.

Try at a Command Prompt (Admin), not Run.

I haven't used Windows system restore in years, I've had it fail one too many times on me .
I have found that creating backups once a day or every other day is sufficient , if anything goes south I just restore from the backup , it's just as fast or maybe even faster than Windows system restore and more reliable.
