You need to enable or disable the System protection feature for each drive.

System Restore on Windows 11 monitors system changes and saves the system state as a restore point. If you find difficulties on your device, you can return the system to a previous state using the data from a restore point. Windows automatically generates Restore points before critical changes are made, such as a major Windows update. Further, the System Restore automatically manages the disk space that is allocated for restoring points. It automatically purges the oldest restore points to make room for new ones.
