Hi,
System (Win 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.2428 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22674.1000.0) is not saving an added key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore

EDIT - I have used the following as my ref point -
www.elevenforum.com

Change System Restore Point Creation Frequency in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to increase or decrease the system restore point creation frequency to what you want in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Turning on system protection for a drive allows System Restore to include the drive when restore points are created so you can undo undesired system...
www.elevenforum.com www.elevenforum.com

I am trying to create a new key (as admin) as follows -

SystemRestorePointCreationFrequency REG_DWORD 0
To allow more than 1 restore point per 24 hours but the system is Not keeping the new key.

I add the above (as admin) and it remains for the session, but on a restart the value is not saved.
I have tried manually adding it and using .reg files from the tutorials on here.
I wish to create this so that a system restore will be created on every start-up

Any thoughts?

You asked for suggestions, so here's the best one I have:
Put a little script in your STARTUP folder that will force a new Restore Point, every time you boot up your PC.
I've done that, and I always have a fresh restore point when I need one. Thank You , Shawn.

Thank you but that does not address the situation of the system restore point frequency creation remaining after being created.

Its that which bugs me.
