Hi again,
It's post August Win 10 update. Using per your helpful advice here, I was able to move the slider and give LOTS more room for saving restore points. But once again, Win 10 upgrade deleted ALL of them but the current date of the graduated upgrades done in August. By that I mean that in the past 3 months, they download the whole update package to your machine, then make the changes in increments over a period of days. This time they did a restore point for each of these days. But June, July, etc are all gone.
Leaves me with same issue. No control over my own machine! Just thought you might like to know this for other Home users. I expect that your advice would be to create a backup and save on other media other than on one's own harddrive.
Cheers,

Prior to July 1 2018 Win 10 Upgrades, I could use system restore to go backwards to negate major problems with an upgrade.
Same package of Win 10 updates did not save into the "WindowsOld" folder. All the device drivers - were "migrated" whatever that means, creating real problem with my BenQ monitor that I also have not yet figured out! And my OneNote 2007 changed into OneNote2016 again without any easily discernable backup despite the fact that Microsoft is Not supposed to mess with personal files, etc, etc, Just endless problems in that one update package. Sorry, abit of a rant there...
My first priority Q: Is there some place in settings for me to set a preference for saving at least 3 to 5 restore points?
Thanks, yourHELPisappreciated
