Default System Restore

Hi

Tried to do a system restore on my PC but the time only goes back to the beginning of January this year.
Is this right, if not what is going on??

Regards Harry

kershawh,

Hello and welcome! Where it shows the month in the System Restore window, you will see two arrows. You can navigate between months (and in this case years) with these arrows. This will allow you to go back to December and earlier

You have to click on the < arrows to go back to December and beyond. Then use this > to come back to this year, have you tried that...

Hi

Thanks for your speedy replies.
I know about the arrows, but it won't go any further back than the beginning of January.

Regards

Did you delete the restore points? Possibly via the Disk Cleanup Utility.

Not intentionally and not that I know of.
How can I tell and is there anything that can be done to restore them.

Regards and thanks

Are there any points you can restore to after January 1?
