System Protection is off
There are no restore points to go back to
What it means
System Protection was never enabled for the system drive, so Windows has no snapshots to restore.
Common causes
- System Protection disabled by default or by a tweak tool
- The feature was turned off to save space
- A small system drive

Create a restore point, select C: and press Configure. - Turn on system protection and give it 5 to 10% of the drive.
