  1. Blue Screen of Death after downloading an update


    I’ve been trying to do a system restore but the C: option is grayed out and says “You must enable system protection on this drive”.

    Recently I’ve opened the cmd and it takes me to

    X:\windows\system32>

    In which I’ve entered “Rstrui.exe/offline:C:\windows=active”

    From there I can select the E: drive to do the system restore, but it ends in it being unsuccessful, stating: “System Restore failed while restoring the registry from the restore point. An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070002)”

    I feel like I’m at an impasse here, please help!
