Windows 10: Issues with restore point + windows updates + crashing

Hello,

I've been looking at solutions for my girlfriends pc, we were trying to fix a driver issue and we went to look to see if windows updates were working and they weren't they gave a: 0x80080005 but Still unable to update. We tried to use the update manually through 2004, but it crashed and blue screen. read it could have something to do with her nvidia driver, though she is on the lastest version. We tried the media creation tool and it instantly blue screened as she opened it. I thought that we could use the restore point system, but when it got close to finishing it gave the 0x80080005 again. I'm not sure what to do. I'm trying to avoid the reset/reinstall os as much as i can since she'd like to not have to reinstall all of her apps. It seems like a lot of the system processes have started randomly degrading? Restore point took a while to come up, and then updates takes a while to throw the 0x80080005 error code.

If anyone can give any help that'd be awesome! thank you in advance.

Windows 10 restore points how do I make and use restore points properly?

To create a restore-point in Win10:

• In the task-bar search box ("I'm Cortana...)
  
• type in "Restore"
  
• Popup menu shows "Create a restore point", click to select this
  
• The System Properties dialog box show up - System Protection tab displaying
  
• Make sure the C drive protection setting is ON.
  
• Click on the "Create..." button to create a restore-point. Enter the name of the restore-point and select Create.
  
• Done.
  

To restore to a restore-point (AKA rollback your system)
- Same steps as before.
- Instead of "Create..", select "System Restore..." button
- Select the restore-point you want and restore.

Typically, you should create a restore point before installing any not well-known software, drivers, etc. Any suspicion of malware or ill behaviors (system crashed, slow, etc), you should use the restore-point to rollback the system.

This is not a pitch but a valid suggestion of a superior alternative.
