Re-Enabling System Restore

If you've previously disabled system restore through the Group Policy Editor, the option to start it again does not show in the System Properties. You can re-enable it again. Here's how: 

Start the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)

Navigate to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/System Restore

Set Turn off System Restore and Turn off Configuration to Disable

Right click on My Computer and Select Manage

Navigate to Services and Applications/Services

Navigate to System Restore Service and double click

On the General tab set [Startup Type] to Automatic using the drop down list

Click the Start button to start the service

Close the Computer Management console

Return to System Restore in Group Policy Editor and configure both to Not Configured

Close Group Policy Editor and reboot the system.

After the reboot is complete, right click My Computer, select Properties and the tab for System Restore will have been restored. Configure it to your individual needs and satisfaction.
