Windows 10: Microsoft support started system restore 1 hour ago, it is still running. Should it be ?

Microsoft support started system restore an hour ago. After a microsoft update earlier today the screen did not display properly. The remote access and driver upgrade did not work. Restore seems to be taking a long time, do i continue to let it run or try to stop it ?

system restore

Hello,

I suggest you perform the following suggestions to resolve this issue:

Step 1:

1. Click "Start", type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and press Enter.

2. Double click the service "Volume Shadow Copy Service".

3. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the "Start" button under "Service Status" to start the service.

Step 2: Run sfc /scannow to check your system.

Step 3: Go to %windir%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SystemRestore

In that directory, rename SR to SR.sav

Try to create the manual restore point again.

Let us know if this helps!

 

System Restore Taking 2 Hours

HELP! Yesterday after installing Office 365 on my computer I started having blue screen of doom - and errors below 1. Service_Exception_cld... I researched and MS community suggested that I turn on Driver Verifier. I did that and during the night my
computer crashed. However, when I went to restart I got the following errors IRQL_Not_Less And then it would just endless loop through your computer shut down and needs to restart - there is an error, needs to restart.... So I selected system restore. That
was 2 hours ago. It has been scrolling (the bar is moving) on "Restoring Files" for 2 hours now. What do I do? Is it legit still running the system restore because the scroll bar is still moving, or is it locked up? How long should this take? What do
I do if it locks up - can I reboot and will it start again or do I have to take this to a computer store. The Dell desktop I'm working on is only 2.5 weeks old. I've researched and can't find anything on how long a Windows 10 restore should take, and nothing
other than hope you have the backup disks for rebooting in the middle of the restore - which I don't have because everything came preloaded!

 

Microsoft Edge TLS Security


After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

2. Type internet options

3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

4. Click on the advanced tab

5. Scroll down to the security section

6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
Use SSL 3.0
Use TLS 1.0
Use TLS 1.1
Use TLS 1.2

7. Click apply

8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
