Automatic Restore Point

[Emrys Davies]

I Have Win7 Home Premium 64 bit

I notice that my computer creates an Automatic Restore Point - System -
every seven days and I am wondering what particular practical use that point
is to me as there are many other Restore Points shown in respect of updates.

It's an automated task so that you always have a recent restore point
regardless of recent updates or other actions that may setoff a system
backup.

This way if maybe you have auto updates off you still have a system restore
point created every X number of days.

There's no such thing as too much chocolate or too many restore points,
but if it really bothers you, you can turn off the scheduled backups.
Open Control Panel>Backup and Restore and look in the left column for
"Turn off schedule." Or you can change the schedule to less frequent
automatic backups.

I am happy with things as they are, but just trying to get a better
understanding of why this and that. It makes sense now. Thanks everyone.
