  1. System Restore question


    I wanted to create a new Restore point in Windows 10. When i went in to the program it showed me I only had 2 restore points total. They were using 7.8 GB of storage and it said I had 90GB available which was about 10% of total available space. In the past with Windows there were usually several restore points going back a ways. Why only 2 points now when there appears to be room for more?

    SYSTEM RESTORE

    Hello Angel,

    Windows 10 may have encountered a system conflict when it tried to perform a system restore. For us to better assist you on performing a system restore, kindly answer the following questions:

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • What is the exact error message are you getting? If possible can you send us a screenshot using the attach photo feature on your reply.
    • What is the current build and version of your Windows 10? To check type in
      winver on the search bar and press Enter.

    Meanwhile, for a walkthrough on how to perform a system restore, kindly follow the steps on this

    article
    and see the section that says Restore from a system restore point.
    On another note, we also suggest that you check the Windows Defender settings and lower down the security if it is on high security. This can also be another issue why it is preventing an update to be installed.

    We'll be waiting for your reply.
