Microsoft has announced that system restore points on Windows 11 will now automatically expire after 60 days.
System restore points help users fix problems by rolling back their PC to an earlier state. But Microsoft says keeping these restore points forever can take up a lot of storage space.
To manage this, Windows 11 will now delete restore points after 60 days. This change helps free up disk space and keeps the system running smoothly.
Users can still create manual restore points whenever they want, but those will also follow the 60-day expiration rule.
This update is part of Microsoft’s ongoing effort to improve Windows 11 performance and storage management. The company advises users to back up important files regularly, as restore points are not a full backup solution.
The new 60-day limit means Windows 11 users should be more proactive about backups and system maintenance. It’s a small change that Microsoft hope could help keep PCs faster and less cluttered.
