Windows 10: Restore Point Crashing

We had a power outage while my computer was running a restore point. when the power came back it could not boot to the lock screen, it keeps showing me the statyup screen which leads to the recovery options. I've been trying to use the system restore point to recover my pc but everytime its about to finish it gives me an error. this time it gave me an error saying System Restore did not complete, System restore failed to extract the file D:\program filesx86\Microsoft\Edge\Application\111.0.1661.51\msvcp140.dll from the restore point. Error code 0x80071160

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.

 

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.

 

Restore points are using more space than is allocated?

Thank you.

1. 'Disk Space Usage' box clearly states "older restore points will be deleted to make room for new ones" but this is not happening.

2. Step 1 should have deleted all restore points but Step 2 suggests that it had found "older restore points".

User settings are being ignored by Windows? Maybe a Windows 10 bug?

Not a big problem. Just another annoyance. I'll just have to manually delete RPs from time to time I think.
