    Hope someone can help me. I have Win8 pro w/MC freshly installed. I had disable system protection but it's seem like it enable itself when i check it next day. Windows 7 never happened like this. Is there another way to disable system protection completely? thx

    What do you mean by "system protection"? Are you talking about "Windows Defender"?

    I disabled Windows Defender using the (local) services control panel.

    No they are talking about system restore. The feature that backs up files when you setup a new driver or something. It slows down OS a lot when you do installs. Mine keeps turning itself back on as well. Maybe there is a service we can disable.

    You can disable automatic maintenance in the Task Scheduler - double click the entry.

    Code:
    %windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s

    You just run this command in a CMD prompt with admin rights, should work.

    I ended up just turning it off via System Properties, and then disabling the Volume Shadow-Copy Service (or whatever it's called) from services.msc

    I turned it off right after install. Doing Windows Updates doesn't seem to re-enable it. Installing drivers and some programs seemed to turn it back on though.
