    Error Performing System Restore 0x81000204


    I was trying to restore my system as yesterday I was trying to fix some network settings and somehow reset my entire network preferences to nothing - nothing was showing up, Wi-fi or anything. I restarted the PC after that and everything seemed to be normal again, apart from the fact that my wifi connection on the PC is VERY slow now.

    System Restore error 0x81000204

    After getting a critical error message saying he start menu is not working, I tried doing a system restore. Because after start up and opening the desktop my computer started to lag so much that it basically froze. It looked as if the hard drive was constantly
    busy with something. When I tried the system restore I get the error 0x81000204. It also says the drive C:\ might be corrupt and I should try running the system restore again after running chkdsk/R. But that didn't work either.

    I have windows 10.

    What should I do?
