Be cautious! System restore point loss reason analysis

Windows XP's "System Restore" feature is often used to install and uninstall software. But computer technology
is not a very proficient friend, it is a gospel, because they no longer have to install Windows XP operating system repeatedly because of system failure. But I also heard some friends say that his home Windows XP restore function seems to be a problem, the restore points are sometimes lost, so that they can not be restored to a restore point. In fact, the loss of the restore point and the Windows XP operating system itself does not have much relationship, more is our operation errors or neglect. So let us analyze the main reasons restore point loss:

1. System Restore has been turned off

Some friends may mistakenly believe that I only need to create a restore point at a certain time, then I can turn off the system restore function, so you don't have to create a restore point to save hard disk space. . However, if we manually turn off the system restore function of Windows XP, all the restore points you created before will be deleted, so you will not find any restore points. If you want to use System Restore, you can't turn it off.

2. Insufficient partition space

Many friends always install the software with the default path, which often makes the system partition take up a lot of space. Because of this, Windows XP's system restore function will stop working and stop monitoring the system. At this time, all restore points will be deleted to release the partition space, and no restore points will be found. Even if the partition space is not enough, the "Restore" function will stop, but some previous restore points will be deleted to free up the space, and we will find that some restore points are not found. Therefore, when installing the software, do not always install according to the default path, to ensure that the system partition has enough hard disk space for the restore function. When we receive a warning that there is not enough disk space, we are ready to release the partition space.

3. Use the "Disk Cleanup" program carefully

When we use Windows XP's "Disk Cleanup" program to clean up the useless data of the hard disk, be careful not to use the "System Restore" under the "Other Options" tab. "Clean up" function. If you use this feature, all restore points will be deleted.
