  1. Unable to remove old version of Windows after system restore


    I have a HP laptop that we have done a system restore on. After the restore, it is still giving me the option to go to the old version, although when I select the older version it just reboots. I've gone into storage and deleted the temp files. I've searched the drive for windows.old and have not found anything.

    :)

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CUnable to remove old version of Windows after system restore :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CUnable to remove old version of Windows after system restore :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.

  3. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    Unable to use system restore in Windows 10

    We suggest that you run the DISM tool by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy or type this command:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    We also recommend that you create some changes on your computer like installing some apps before performing the System Restore so that the system will detect some changes to be reverted.

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.
