I have administrator privileges, I'm logged on as administrator.

My System Restore tab in system properties has disappeared. It's history.

I've checked gpedit.msc to make sure it hasn't been turned off, and it hasn't been...

Opening the System Restore app in System Tools tells me it's not able to protect my computer and that I should restart and try again, which I have.

Tried other admin accounts, also can't see it in those..

Automatic Windows Update is also not selectable, this may or may not be a related issue, but I can at least see the tab..

I can't for the life of me figure out why or how it disappeared. I did an AV scan and no results..

I am stupefied. Would rather know why it's disappeared than format and reinstall.

Thanks in advance for any help.
