System Restore

[Stan]

When opening System Restore there are System Checkpoints and Software
Distribution Service 3.0 entries. I know what Checkpoints are but can
someone please explain what the other entries mean? TIA

Hi Stan,

Distribution Service restore point are created by Windows Update, before the
updates are installed.
