system restore on win 11 is greyed out
i use win 11 home edition inside preview. I cant open group policy window and the function of system restore doesnt work neither.
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
Next, paste the command
“%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe/dsrrstr.dll,ExecuteScheduledSPPCreation”
and press Enter to execute it.
In Run menu type Services.msc and hit Enter key.
Locate Volume Shadow Copy, “service right click on it and from the context menu select Start, If it is running stop it and change Startup type to Automatic.
From the context menu and then If its Startup type is set to Disabled, change it to Automatic, and click OK.I tried to run that command I got the message "The directory name is invalid." I tried going to c:\windows\system32 directory, I searched for rundll32.exe to make sure it was there, and then ran the command starting with rundll32.exe, and I got the same error. Fiddled around with variations, putting in spaces, and so on, and also got the message "The system cannot find the path specified."
- Try to run the command prompt as administrator.
