    System Restore has been going on for 8 hours


    Hello. I did a System Restore in an attempt to fix my graphics card driver that was malfunctioning as an alternative to downloading a driver update 315 MB in size on dorm Wi-Fi lol. 9 hours of waiting later I'm still stuck on "restoring the registry". I'm considering a force shutdown which is why I'm here to ask if this is safe to do so or not. Thanks System Restore has been going on for 8 hours :)

    :)

    Windows system restore - taking 2 hours plus ?

    Tried a system restore on 2 occasions today.

    First session ran for over 2hrs with the screen saying "Please wait while etc etc".

    Read that if runs more than an hour it may be frozen and suggests a hard reset of the device.

    The second session is doing the same restoring for 2 hours plus.

    Is this expected or an error/fault somewhere on the system causing it run more than an hour etc.

    • Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
