Solved System restore point being created at every bootup

yamikew · Feb 12, 2009

I am running Vista Home Premium x64. Everytime I bootup, the Language Pack removal service runs (as it is supposed to, apparently).

However, Vista seems to treat this as a significant system event, which triggers a restore point to be created. The restore point creation is slowing down access to my hard disk everytime I reboot.

When I look at the list of restore points that Vista has created, a restore point is created at every bootup due to the event “Uninstall: Language Pack Removal”. I can see the list by running “System Restore”, then selecting “choose another restore point” and clicking Next.

Any idea how to stop the restore point being created at every bootup? I assume there’s a good reason Vista runs the Language Pack removal service at every bootup, so I’d rather keep that running.

I also want a restore point created when there is a software install/uninstall, so want to keep the system restore service running, too.

Thanks.

Hello Yamikew, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You can use step 16 in OPTION THREE in the tutorial below to disable System Restore from running at bootup everytime for you.

Hope this helps,

Hi Brink, I disabled the scheduled daily and at-bootup system restore point task triggers, as suggested. (I substituted a weekly restore point task trigger, which sounds more reasonable to me.)

However, the symptoms I described in my first post remained. Everytime I reboot, a system restore point is created due to the significant system event "Uninstall: Language Removal".

So I also disabled the at-bootup LPRemove task. (Again, substituting a weekly run.) That stopped the restore points being created at every boot.

I'm only guessing, but it seems that the Language Pack Removal tool always requests the creation of a system restore point. Perhaps it would be more logical to request creation of a system restore point only if the tool is actually about to remove something.

Thanks for assistance.

Yamikew,

I agree. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted out though. Personally I have disabled that one since I do not use any other language packs except the default one that installed with the OS.
