[System restore fails to restore]

system restore runs but does not restore

 

Welcome to Windows BBS.

What do you need to do a SR for?

System Restore is not a miracle worker. It only helps in certain situations and can cause more problems then it will fix.

It sounds as if System Restore may have become corrupted. You can try re installing the feature.

Here's how:

In Control Panel or Windows Explorer, click Folder Options and then View tab
Under Advanced Settings, scroll down and find "Show hidden files and folder." Check the box.
Find "Hide extensions for known files types." Uncheck that box. Click Apply, OK.
In Windows Explorer, find your Windows folder (usually on the C: drive but not always). Navigate to the inf folder and open it.
Find a file named sr.inf
Right click the file and select Install.​

Important: This creates a new installation of System Restore, but it will delete any restore points that you had created previously.

kind regards,
