Windows 10: Windows 10 Cannot create a System Restore Point

When I try to create a system restore point I receive an error message as follows:


There was an unexpected error in the property page:

Invalid cursor handle (0x8007057A)

Please close the property page and try again.


In addition, I cannot process a restore point, I get the same message.


I have reinstalled Win 10, keeping my installed programs and documents, but when the install has completed, I have tried to create a restore point, but I get the same error.


I would be very grateful if someone could assist and advise what I need to do in order to get system restore to work.


Thanks Jimmy
