I keep disabling system restore, but Win 8.1 keeps enabling it on its own.
I think its when certain windows updates are installed that want to create a restore point.
Then It just ignores the fact that I disabled system protection manually and turns it back on all by itself.
So I figured, "ok, I'll just disable the service then, that should do it".
Well I cannot seem to figure out what the service is named.
Is it the Volume Shadow Copy service that I need to disable to get rid of system restore for good?
BTW: I use Acronis for backups, that is why i don't need system restore in case someone asks why i want it disabled.
It's just wasting disk space and causing extra writes to my SSD for no good reason.
