While Windows Server does this automatically, usually twice a day, Windows 10 does not. Here’s how to mimic Windows Server’s operation:
- In Settings, open “create a restore point”
- Make sure the desired drive has Protection turned On
- Open Task Scheduler
- General tab
Create Task…
Name the task as desired
Select “Run whether user is logged on or not” and “Run with highest privileges” - Triggers tab
New…
Set timing as desired (often Daily but do as desired) and Enabled should be checked - Actions tab
New…
Start a program
Program/script = wmic
Add arguments = shadowcopy call create Volume=C:\ (or desired drive) - When saving the task, enter the computer’s login password
For multiple times or drives, add additional tasks as necessary.
