Windows 10: System restore points James

Greetings

I made a manual system restore point, and then downloaded a program from the internet. And the program didn't work, so I tried to use the system restore feature to restore the computer to the point before the download.

And the system restore feature didn't work either. So I tried it with a restore point made earlier than the first one, and that one didn't work either.

Help!

:)

 

System Restore Points: No check points created.

Does windows 10 make restore points on it's own. Have had windows 10 installed for a few days and when I checked for restore points, there were none. I make my own at this time. Sorry it did make one when I installed Classic View. I installed windows updates
today, no restore points were made before they were installed.

So what settings are we missing to get system or other restore points in windows 10., are is this another problem Microsoft forgot to fix.

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. To check:

• Press Windows key + X and click on Control Panel
  ,
• Search for Recovery, and then select Recovery.
• Click on Configure System Restore.
• Check if Configure and make sure Turn on system protection is selected.

To configure Restore point manually kindly refer to the below given link and check if it helps:

Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.

Thank you.

 

Which version and build number of Windows does Winver say you have? Are you on 1607? Is the error AppxStaging error 0x80070091? If so you are not alone. An update of the 'Get Office' app back in February is implicated in causing system restore to fail. There's a lengthy thread on this and some workarounds...

System Restore fails: AppxStaging %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApp 0x80070091

It was a minor inconvenience for me when system restore stopped working, mainly because I take regular system images and can restore that if an app install messes up the system. Thankfully since the Creators Update system restore is fully functional again.

 

An 3rd party AV can also cause it to fail.

 

And if you just want to uninstall the program, but can't, try a 3rd party uninstaller such as Revo.
