Windows 11 users will need to keep a close eye on their operating system’s restore points if they want to be able to recover their PC after a major outage, Windows Latest reports.
With the June update, Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft announced that restore points in Windows 11 24H2 will now be stored for 60 days. Previously, Windows stored them for up to 90 days. Microsoft writes under the “System Restore” entry:
“After installing the June 2025 Windows security update, Windows 11, version 24H2 will retain system restore points for up to 60 days. To apply a restore point, select “Open System Restore.” Restore points older than 60 days are not available. This 60-day limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11, version 24H2.”
The new time limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11 24H2 and likely also to Windows 11 25H2, which will be released in fall 2025.
How to create a system restore point
In the Windows search bar, enter the term “recovery” and click on the result “Create a restore point.”
Then, on the “System Protection” tab, click “Configure.” In the new window, make sure the checkbox next to “Enable System Protection” is selected. Confirm with “OK.”
Windows 11 now automatically creates a restore point before installing updates. To immediately save a restore point of the current system state, click “Create.” Enter a unique name such as “System on March 1, 2025.” This will make it easy to identify the backup later. Confirm by clicking “Create.”
