Greetings, since I migrated to Windows 11 this shortcut stopped working, does anyone have a new way to do the same work?
Even the shortcut that I put is gone from the start menu is gone.

Hello Ro, :-)

If you like, the context menu added by the tutorial below still works in Windows 11 to create a restore point.

Hi,
You should really use a better more reliable restore process

There is no replacement for system images and winpe recovery media

Hello Ro, :)

If you like, the context menu added by the tutorial below still works in Windows 11 to create a restore point.

Will this allow you to name your creations? I like naming my manual restore points when creating them. Just curious.

Unfortunately not. It will name it "Manual" by default with a timestamp.

If you like, you could use the "System Protection" shortcut below to at least make it quicker to create a restore point via System Properties with a name you want.

Thanks Brink, I already have the shortcut, I was just wondering if the context menu option allowed naming.

Thanks :)

Thanks for your attention.

I spent the weekend trying to solve a new problem that I only noticed these days, which came up after I did the Update to Windows 11, This "Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories".
Frustratingly, nothing I've found on the internet has solved the problem so far.
