app tool for viewing Restore points on external Hdd ??

Tags: Windows

why is windows 10 Hiding – Restore points on external harddrives ??
Reason I know is when I connect it into my Smart TV- I can see these – when I view the folders & files in my Hdd vis smart Tv –
I see -3 restore points -$RECYCLE.BIN – S152, S153. S154 , in the folder called – $RECYCLE.BIN.

when I connect this hdd into my pc – these restore points are not shown- even when I set folder option -to view hidden folders& file- please can someone explain why ???
Is there a windows tool that can view the folders&files & maybe extract them to another Hdd ??

These are not full restore points.

Just restore information pertaining to that drive.

Might contain deleted files, names of the drive volume and so on.

Also, no to the question. It would be rather useless information.

There’s another check box in the options of File Explorer to show or hide protected operating system folders. Try that to see more than you see now.

Those are not System Restore Points. Every Windows computer will have those folders in your Recycle Bin.
