    Can't do System Restore (failed to extract the file, 0x80070301)

    System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system and settings were not changed.

    Details:

    System restore failed to extract the file (C:\Windows\Installer) from the restore point.

    An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x8007301)

    Things I have tried:

    • Uninstalled antivirus completely, disabled windows firewall
    • ran sfc /scannow - no errors found
    • couldn't access windows restore from safe mode..
    • different restore points
    • restarting VSS service ( it's set on automatic)
    I have used tweaking.com reset file permissions few months ago, and windows somehow thinks I'm using built in administrator account, so I can't launch any store apps and settings.. Could that be the problem ?

    I also added all possible permissions to Windows/Installer folder..

    lost system restore point

    Two things that could pertain to this. First, older System Restore points do roll off the end of the list when the drive space allocated to system restore has been used up and new restore points are being created.

    The second point is that system restore points are sometimes deleted when significant operating system updates include changes that are incompatible with files stored in those old restore point(s).

    I'm presuming that you did tick the box in System Restore that says "show more restore points".
