Thank you so much for your fast reply. and sorry i accidentally clicked the button of &quot;helpful&quot;. i think your answer would be my solution. <br />
<br />
Here are two questions:<br />
1 how much space does one Restore point need?<br />
2 based on your reply, i think the reason that the restore points i set up has gone is the automatic restore points were added one by one and occupied a lot space. so the my Restore points were deleted due to the newer automatic restore point. my question is how to stop the automatic restore point creating?

Can we create restore point manually. and then click on &quot;disable system protection&quot;? this way we can save much space and could convert the system to the restore point that i want.

You should be able to but be sure to allow enough space. I use the points created by applications or Windows

Restore point disappear in Windows 8

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
