    Can't create restore point


    When trying to manually create a restore point from System Properties/System Protection tab, the process runs without ever completing. I've let it go 20 minutes and still nothing. Have to go to Task Manager to get it to stop.
    Based on info I had read online, I deleted all previous restore points and verified system protection was turned on. Disk Space Usage limit is set to 10%. Using Norton 360 -- tried turning off -- no improvement.
    System info: Windows 10 Pro Version 1909. Toshiba laptop. 250 GB drive; 164 GB free. 8 GB RAM.

    :)
