Windows 10: System restore in Win10

I ran into a situation where I think system restore may solve the problem. This desktop system originally came with WIN7 and it was automatically updated to WIN10 quite a while ago. I have used system restore in previous versions of Windows but this is the first time using WIN10 restore.


When i go into system restore the screen lists a restore point with the date i would like to use for C: drive. Then it also lists a Recovery drive with the status of The drive is not in the selected restore point.


Above that box is a Warning Icon stating you must always restore the drive that contains Windows. Restoring other drives is optional.


Is there anything to worry about here? I haven't seen the warning message in other system restores in the past.


Thanks

System Restore Error 0x81000203

I made many changes on the computer before I start to worry about the System Restore, including update from win8 to win10.

I realized about the problem with the System Restore when I wanted to make a backup copy througth VEEAM Endpoint Backup (VEB) that use the Volume Shadow Copy Service to take a snapshot from the disks and made a copy even if the files has been used.

I tried almost all of "steps" but no one solve the problem.
