Windows 10: Checkpoint-Computer hangs sometimes

Checkpoint-Computer is a command to make a restore point in PowerShell script.
Sometimes it repeats "99% Completed" for hours.
Does anyone know the cause?

Quick remedy: Making it manually with the Control Panel.
Not using a script, it always succeeds.
But I hope to make restore points automatically.


---
I did chkdsk, dism, sfc, stopped anti-virus, erased restore points and shadow copies,
tried PowerShell ISE and Visual Studio Code, but couldn't get any hint.
So I made the files below, but it does not solve the problem.
Also, I think there should be shorter methods to produce the same result.

[_RestorePoint.bat]
@set "this=%0%"
@PowerShell "[Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent.IsInRole[Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator" find /i "True" > nul
@if ErrorLevel 1
echo not admin, %this% will exit
exit


set /a "loop_count=0"
:label_loop
set /a "loop_count=%loop_count% + 1"
@if %loop_count% gtr 3
echo time up, when it fails, it fails
goto label_end


PowerShell C:\tmp\_RestoreDate.ps1 find /i "new"
if %ErrorLevel% equ 0 goto label_end
Reg import C:\tmp\_PermitRestoreTime.reg
taskkill /f /fi "ImageName eq PowerShell.exe" /fi "WindowTitle eq Administrator: CreatingRestorePoint"
start "CreatingRestorePoint" /RealTime PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -OutputFormat XML -WindowStyle Minimized -Command " Checkpoint-Computer -Description 'daily' -RestorePointType 'MODIFY_SETTINGS' "
timeout 1800 > nul
taskkill /f /fi "ImageName eq PowerShell.exe" /fi "WindowTitle eq Administrator: CreatingRestorePoint"
goto label_loop

:label_end
PowerShell Get-ComputerRestorePoint
exit
[eof]

[_RestoreDate.ps1]
$currentUser = New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal $ [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent
$testResult = $currentUser.IsInRole [Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltinRole]::Administrator
If $testResult -eq $False {
echo "not admin"
Exit
}
$targetTime = Get-Date.AddMinutes -30
$ts = $targetTime.ToString "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"
$a = Get-ComputerRestorePoint Select-Object CreationTime
ForEach $b in $a {
$c = $b.CreationTime
$d = $c.ToString
$e = $d.SubString 0, 14
$f = $e + '-00:00' #using local time not utc
$g = [DateTime]:arseExact $f, 'yyyyMMddHHmmsszzz', $null
$gs = $g.ToString "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"
if $g -gt $targetTime {
Write-Output $ 'new restore point:' + $gs + ' > now - 30min:' + $ts
} else {
Write-Output $ 'old restore point:' + $gs + ' <= now - 30min:' + $ts
}
}
[eof]

[_PermitRestoreTime.reg]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore]
"SystemRestorePointCreationFrequency"=dword:00000001
[eof]

Checkpoint VPN on Windows firewall app list???


But I don't have Checkpoint VPN installed on my computer. I can't find any sign of it.

Is this something that comes bundled with Windows 10? Should I remove the check marks from the boxes in the Windows Firewall settings? I have Checkpoint VPN and Checkpoint.VPN on the list.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm fairly new to Windows 10 and I haven't used the Windows firewall in years. I just recently uninstalled ESET Smart Security and it used to show a list of apps connecting to the internet. I don't recall ever seeing Checkpoint anywhere in ESET's settings either.
