System Restore - Number of Restore Points

Recently I checked the number of restore points I'd accumulated and
found only 8 extending over the past three days, including today.

It seems to me, in the past, I've seen more restore points extending
further back in time. The slider is set to Max [12%(553MB)]. Perhaps
the issue is that I have a rather small partition, and I'm running out
of room and the system is only going to use 12%, thus affording only a
limited number of restore point.

Any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks.

That sounds likely (just what you said, based on what you said).

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

Hi,

How many partitions is System Restore set to monitor?

And how much free space is there on the Windows partition?
