Windows 11 25H2 "Point in time restore" seems to reset System Protection to 2%

This is exactly exactly what I'm experiencing Have been using the system restore since I've been using Windows I could not figure out what was going on I didn't even know about this point of shared time thing.

the settings are so weird now and difficult to find (muscle memory -wise) I would have normally went through all of them but, alas....

I just went in and changed it to 5% keep an eye on it with this terminal that you listed. I didn't totally understand your whole thing but it was very well broken down. from what I could see it was exactly what was happening to mine. Keeps resetting back to 2% exactly and when I went to go restore my system the other day there was no restore points.ZERO! Except for two backups from 2025 . 

Sys Restore is always one of the 1st things i check when installing or reinstalling windows. sometimes it has been set up in the off postion idk why... Also I noticed that recently , and after Windows 11 was Already installed a while, that in my C drive now says the thing about back up drive shouldn't use restore points because it may more and more shadow copies being lost etc.. Which it never said that prior  i'm no developer as you can tell. but I do know my way around. Something somebody else said duplication In the comments made me think of the service that I didn't know what it was ReFS Dedup service, I have no idea if that has anything to do with anything but I just went to revert systems Services and reverted to start to demand, manual. 

i appreciate your very well broken down summary of this issue He's still not alone Now I know how to keep an eye on it and that there's another setting I tried turning it off I think maybe the difference their old version does like 1% 2% 3% Looks like the newer settings version does like 4.9% 5.4% et cetera I couldn't get it to go to 5% exactly but it came up as 5% on the old version Weird
