    System Restore taking 25 hours and counting!


    I am on a Dell laptop with 512 gb storage with a bit less than half of that full. Prior to the system restore, i ran disk scans to see if anything was wrong and nothing showed up. I also did a full computer scan a week ago using my antivirus and it said my computer was clean. I do not know too much about computers and that is why i am here asking why my system restore is taking 25 hours. Should I stop it? anything to help me understand what is happening would be appreciated.

  2. System Restore Taking 2 Hours

    HELP! Yesterday after installing Office 365 on my computer I started having blue screen of doom - and errors below 1. Service_Exception_cld... I researched and MS community suggested that I turn on Driver Verifier. I did that and during the night my
    computer crashed. However, when I went to restart I got the following errors IRQL_Not_Less And then it would just endless loop through your computer shut down and needs to restart - there is an error, needs to restart.... So I selected system restore. That
    was 2 hours ago. It has been scrolling (the bar is moving) on "Restoring Files" for 2 hours now. What do I do? Is it legit still running the system restore because the scroll bar is still moving, or is it locked up? How long should this take? What do
    I do if it locks up - can I reboot and will it start again or do I have to take this to a computer store. The Dell desktop I'm working on is only 2.5 weeks old. I've researched and can't find anything on how long a Windows 10 restore should take, and nothing
    other than hope you have the backup disks for rebooting in the middle of the restore - which I don't have because everything came preloaded!

    Windows system restore - taking 2 hours plus ?

    Tried a system restore on 2 occasions today.

    First session ran for over 2hrs with the screen saying "Please wait while etc etc".

    Read that if runs more than an hour it may be frozen and suggests a hard reset of the device.

    The second session is doing the same restoring for 2 hours plus.

    Is this expected or an error/fault somewhere on the system causing it run more than an hour etc.

    Restoring phone - locks up at 25% restore

    I got a new phone and the restore of backup gets stuck at 25%.

    • I have tried to restore the phone 4 different times times.
    • Each time it stalls at 25% restored.
    • I have deleted the backup on the onedrive website and created a new fresh backup from the old phone.
    • I have done a hard reset using the buttons method on the new phone before trying to restore this new backup.
    • I have let the restore process continue for over 12 hours with not progress.
    • Both Phones are on OS version 8.10.14192.280.
    • No matter what I do, the restore will no go past 25%.

    What can I do to restore my backup to my new phone?
