Windows Defender creates a lot of "Restore Points" called "Windows Defender
Checkpoint". I have seven o eight of them everyday. Is there a way to only
create a Windows Defender Checkpoint" when I believe it is necessary?
Thanks for the information.
 
A System Restore Point is a System Restore Point no matter what the name
given it.

To turn off the "Windows Defender Checkpoints", courtesty of Steve Dodson
and Bill Sanderson:

In the registry editor,

Create a "REG_DWORD" Key named "DisableRestorePoint" and set it to TRUE
under the following location in the registry.

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows Defender/Scan/
--------------------------------------
This needs a little interpretation:

1) find the location named above.
2) Highlight the Scan object, and right click it, choose permissions, and
give your user FULL.
3) create a value as instructed above, and set it to "1."
4) reverse your action in 2)--uncheck Full for your user.
 
Thank you
