How to Automatically Create a Backup Before Each Windows 10 Patch Tuesday

[silversurfer]

Enable System Restore

The first thing you need to do is enable System Restore for the drives you want to back up. To do this, click the Start menu and type System Restore.

Clicking the only result should point you to the System Properties screen showing the current protection status of your PC. Click the Configure button in the lower part of the screen, enable the option that reads Turn on system protection > Apply > OK.

After doing this for each drive on your system, System Restore should be up and running on the computer. Each restore point allows you to return to the configuration that was active when this backup was created.

Setting up automatic restore points

Open the Windows 10 Task Scheduler by typing its name in the Start menu. An administrator account will be needed to make changes here.

In the Actions pane on the right side of the screen, click the Create Task button. This will bring up a new screen that will require you to define when the task needs to run and what it should do.

First of all, provide a name for the task in the General tab. In my test, I picked Automatic Patch Tuesday backup for the tutorial. Check the options that read Run with highest privileges and Run whether user is logged on or not, so that the task will be prioritized and will also kick in even when your system is idle on the lock screen.
