Restore point error 0x80042308

I was hoping that someone can help me with the following problem When trying to create a RESTORE point:
“The specified object was not found – error 0x80042308”
Having just spent the whole trying to and finally fixing problem in my PC caused by the latest Win10 (Home) updates, I am intent on creating a restore point so that I don’t go through the same pain again. I have researched and tried almost all of the fixes suggested on the various Forums and am now at my wits end. Solutions attempted but not successful include:

• SFC / Scannow (no integrity problems found) after multiple runs
• Chkdsk /r (ran to end without errors)
• DISM.exe restorehealth with reference to an ISO image running on a USB drive (this fixed the problems caused by Win 10 updates)
• Turning Volume Shadow Copy to Automatic in Services
• Turning Windows Backup to Automatic in Services
• Changing Boot to Selective Startup with Load Startup Items unchecked
• Turning off my Norton Firewall & Auto Protect features
• In Services I have hidden MS services and disabled all other Services

All of the above have proved fruitless – HELP!!!

 

How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

Windows 10 64-bit.
When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

Disk Cleanup through (C Properties
Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (C
Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

Any suggestions highly welcome.
