In the Protect page's System State backup and restoration, you can now fine tune your backup file, modify it and save changes back to the file. This allows you to have more control over your system state backups and ensures that only the necessary data is included. There is also a search bar to find the security controls you are looking for quickly. This change significantly improves the usability and efficiency of managing system state backups and boosts the user experience.
-
The System backup and restoration feature is now cancellable so you can now safely cancel it in the middle of the operation.

- Drive statistics do not increase the RAM usage.
- Performing searches do not increase the RAM usage.
- CPU usage has been decreased.
| Area of Improvement | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| RAM usage | 200 MB | 50 MB (75% less) |
| Drive indexing | 45 seconds | Approximately 34 seconds (25% faster) |
| Search speed | 0.4 seconds | 0.2 seconds or less (at least 2× faster) |
| Drive statistics | Approximately 6 seconds to complete | Almost instantly if drive already indexed with no increase in RAM usage |
The data is based on 1.6 Million files with 1 NTFS and 4 ReFS drives on a modern NVMe SSD. All drives fully BitLocker AES-XTS-256 bit encrypted
