Uninstalled Win Defender. System restore is not making any new checkpoints.
Have no pre-Defender checkpoints to restore to..

Have tried turning off System restore and turning back on to no avail.

Anyone know how to get System restore working???

I really wish I could help, but all I can do is sympathise.

This is exactly the problem I've been discussing in a number of posts during
the last few days. Hardly anyone, least of all Microsoft, seems concerned
about the ludicrous number of checkpoints that Defender makes, and in your
case we see the outcome. The significant point here is that you now don't
have any pre-Defender checkpoints to restore to - they've all been replaced
by Defender checkpoints.

Will someone from Microsoft PLEASE respond to this issue and offer a fix?
(NOT, please, one that requires us to edit the registry!!!) Or at least tell
us that you're trying to solve it? The silence on this issue is deafening.

In the meantime, the only advice I can offer to anyone reading this is: if
it isn't too late - if you still have some pre-Defender restore points left -
then turn off the real-time protection and just use Defender for manual scans.
 
yes this is a major issue and should be fixed.!!!!!!!
If I went back before i installed WD it would take 4 new programs off which
would be a MAJOR pain to reinstall.

For the benefit of anyone else reading this thread and sharing our
frustration, I'm pleased to say that there is at last some response to this
problem - but it's in the 'hidden update button' thread that started on 2nd
July - look for Joe Faulhaber's comments.
