System Restore Problem. SR on All Drives turned on after MS Update



By default system restore is only enabled on my system drive (C:\). The
other drives are backups and archives and I do not want them subject to
system restore

Nonetheless I often find the after a restart monitoring all drives has been
enabled.

It seems likely that this happens after an update because I do not otherwise
shutdown the PC
Is there a way to lock the settings?
