    This happening on a Windows 10 X64 Professional Operating System
    Has anyone run into this problem, If you right click on This PC and go to Advanced System Settings, then click on System Protection and see the following under Protection Settings:
    Local Disk (C) System:Off
    a Yellow Box followed by (C) Missing:On
    what has caused this error and how do you correct it. I'm finding it on both 1903 and 1909 Windows 10 releases.

    What should be there is Local Disk (C) (System):On

    Thanks for your help

    To enable SR
    Code:
    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore" /v "DisableSR" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore" /v "DisableConfig" /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SPP\Clients" /v " {09F7EDC5-294E-4180-AF6A-FB0E6A0E9513}" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "1" /f

    I get this everytime I boot a cloned installation.
    just disable the entry with the missing C drive, then it will disappear.
    then you can enable the other C drive and all will work fine.

    TarikuOkami, I did the create a restore point, but both the C Drive and The Missing C Drive still show up. They are both "ON" for Protection.
    Andy; How did you disable the Missing C Drive, I can't seem to get to it. They both show "ON" for Protection under Protection Settings

    Can you explain to me how you did the disable? I can't seem to get rid of the missing C Drive.

    just do it the usual way.. select the missing C drive, click on configure and then disable system protection and click OK.

    Problem solved, high lighted the "Missing C" and clicked on configure and turned protection off. File disappeared on system protection screen. Thanks for your support
    Now we know when we are cloning hard drives or SSD's we have to check system protection and make sure this "Missing C" file doesn't appear, if it does delete it.
