disable system restore

[lll888]

After all, it has long been known that after restoring the system, nothing works and you need to reinstall Windows

so those who understand this, first disable it in the computer properties

then add the registry file and the batch file, the batch file will turn off when an error occurs when the reboot window pops up with a choice of actions, that is, Windows will always load itself in case of any failures

 

The only thing is never click on recovery in safe mode, then you definitely won’t be able to start it )

 

 

 

Disable recovery at Windows startup.bat

Disable System Restore.reg

[NotHereToPlayGames]

No offense, but I for one will not download a .bat or a .reg from a member that has only been here a couple of weeks.

Please post the CONTENTS of the .bat and .reg within your POST so that we do not have to download it just to see what they contain.

You can open it in notepad and look, it’s strange that you don’t know this )

I threw off the files just for convenience

Disable recovery at Windows startup cmd -   bcdedit /set bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures

Disable System Restore  - 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore]
"DisableSR"=dword:00000001

 

Such topics are not common and people simply do not know this, and this affects the performance, saving space on the hard disk, positively affects the nervous system )

Usually everyone installs win with the next next button and that’s it, that’s where their knowledge ends

There's another issue here and that is the whole premise from the first statement onward is just wrong.

You can turn off system protection very easily via the main System menu without needing any, possibly dubious, third party batch and registry editing tools.

I've used System Restore on Win7 PCs a number of times over the last 8 years (and 6 years prior to that on a Windows XP laptop) with no need to reinstall the OS, ever. The only thing I've had to do afterwards is update some AV/Anti-malware definitions and re-update any programs that the restore point used preceded. That's it.

I put in new and delete old restore points manually on a weekly basis, they take up comparatively little space and IMHO still provide the simplest way of restoring a PC in the event of certain types of problem.

Problems with System Restore not working properly can be caused by an overly intrusive AV; AVAST for example was (maybe still is) known to interfere with it.

you call doubtful what you do not understand

i just said that most users are at the start button level, no offense

and I never restore, I don’t need this function

that's why I decided to share some good advice

Except that this advice is harmful. I do computer repair and over the years have been able to recover a large number of systems using restore points. And on my computers system recovery has saved the system from reinstallation several times. On Win 10-11, restore points are disabled, so any problem there means you have to reinstall the whole system, so I enable system restore there too. And even SSD wear and tear won't be an excuse, because a full system reinstallation gives more wear and tear than an occasional non-big restore point.

I disable system restore, but then again, like someone already wrote, I have mirrored backups on several different HDDs.

Up to Vista system restore was light on HDD, starting Windows 7 - very heavy and bloated, they included tons of files to be copied over without any need.

Even some video files! So, probably, the case with the OP. He got fed up with Windows 7's system restore.

I've used System Restore on Win7 PC a number of times, too! With no need to reinstall the OS.

But the problem was Win7 itself. It lost activation when I inserted a 32GB SD card. Design flaw, simply buggy OS.

Do you repair computers or reinstall win, these are different directions

you can do it badly, this is to use a restore point, you can do it well by reinstalling the system, or you can do it perfectly, reinstalling the system so that you don’t have to redo it anymore

why do you need backups ?

I decided this issue for myself a long time ago, that is, if you disable recovery, then Windows must be unkillable

I used to repair.  But I quickly learned that I could spend two or three days repairing versus less than an hour to archive what is needed to be kept, reinstall OS plus applications, retrieve what is needed from archives, and be done.

You can repair a 20yr old car (my oldest car is SIXTY NINE YEARS OLD), that doesn't mean it will drive like a brand new car.

I completely agree with you, everyone does this, everywhere, in any country.

but since everyone does it, why not do it better ?

my boss once told me learn to do well and you will be able to do quickly and well at the same speed as someone else does poorly, in the same time

when people say that they don’t have enough time, it means that they are very slow, think for a long time and, as usual, make the wrong decision, because there are a lot of options and choosing the right one is not enough logic alone

I totally agree, I'd also like to point out to @Dave-H that the recently joined user started to spawn multiple topics with dubious advice and questionable software.

You misunderstood me, I repair computers, not only their hardware, but also reinstall the OS, virus removal, recovery, and so on.

You just don't understand how a restore point works. It restores files and registry entries as they were when it was created, so the OS at the time the restore point was created = the OS after the restore. Of course, if the OS has a lot of bugs, it's easier to reinstall, they accumulate gradually and usually restore points don't last that long. But if something breaks a well working system, a quick rollback is best. For example, the wrong driver can cause a BSOD, safe mode doesn't always work, and rolling back from a point will quickly and correctly remove that driver.
