Windows 10: Windows 10 BSoD - Failed System Restore - Failed Automatic Repair

Greetings everyone. I attempted to Restore (Recover/Reset - whatever it's called now) my 11 month old Lenovo laptop to a previous date. After about 15 minutes it displayed a message saying the process failed and would restart. It never restarted, just shut down. I manually restarted and it went into Automatic Repair mode which also failed. It displays two options, Restart or Advanced options. Selecting Advanced options results in several other options, one of which is Troubleshoot. Selecting Troubleshoot results in several other options, some of which require a password. I don't remember ever setting a system password, but I did set a PIN. I've tried various passwords and my PIN, but nothing is working. I have a bad feeling about this. Windows 10 was pre-installed, no disc.Your thoughts?

:)

Here is a link to yet another fix that is a bit more complicated....

[FIX] System Restore Failed While Restoring The Directory From The Restore Point

 

Win 10 BSOD System Restore fails

Thanks Rafael.

I followed your recommendation to rename System and Software.

When I tried to rename Software I got the following:

"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

I went ahead and attempted to reset the PC and it got to 34% before it failed.

I noticed the date listed for both System and Software in the config dir is 1 day before the restore image date (which also fails).

What do we try next?

Is there a way to repair the files listed with ACL errors?

D:\windows\system32\c_20001.NLS are not proper

access control repair

result failed Error Code = 0x2

Same errors for:\windows\system32\C_20278.NLS

Same errors for:\windows\system32\WUDFHost.exe
