How Often Does Windows 10 Create Restore Points?

Hey, I am trying to figure out how often Windows 10 creates restore points. Someone says it creates a restore point every time you turn on or reboot your device. But it is also said that it automatically creates restore points every 24 hours. Which one is true?

In fact, neither of them is right. By default, the Windows system won't create restore points only if you turn on the system protection yourself. But it's important to note that this default behavior doesn't prevent you from manually creating a restore point. You can set the desired time interval, and the system will back up according to your command.

However, Windows won't automatically create restore points; a system restore point is not a full backup. Sometimes, you need to change the system restore point creation frequency from time to time to satisfy your needs. That's why we strongly recommend you use backup software like EaseUS Todo Backup to back up your PC every time you want. You can also set an automatic backup in case of data loss.
