Why Does System Restore Never Work in Windows 10?

I have tried System Restore on multiple Windows 10 Pro machines over the past few months, and it has never, ever worked. Usually, it takes an hour or two before it gets the whole way through, and the...

HI ComputerBee, I have never had a issue with Windows Restore points as it always went back to the past point 🙂 Are you on the latest version of Windows?

Shawn is a fake account for sure...

Yeah, System Restore never has worked for me. For reference I have 2 machines running 10 Pro in development mode and a third running 11 pro.

Dear Microsoft;

Quit asking people what version they are on and fix your BROKEN **bleep** SHIT.

Remote desktop somehow magically got corrupted when I needed it most, my only recommendation from your half-assed support?

System Restore...WHICH DIDNT WORK. My server is down right now because Windows 11 is a fail.

I'm out 5 **bleep**ing days of work.

I might just have to switch to Linux, but I'll be contacting your sales team about a refund for my business.

Idea of the century for Microsoft, maybe if you didn't spend so much time collecting my data your operating system would be worth the $200+ pricetag. It feels like Everytime I get hardware gains, Microsoft finds another way to tack on another form of data collection.

 

Take a hint...you started doing subs for office, now I just use sheets...everyone else is just a tool. I hope windows goes to a subscription so the general public can be done using you as a standard.

    Hi,

    I have really have done many restore points before to test out an app or before I do any updates to the computer like a driver or with a support agent that helped me with a software issue.

    It usually always restarts and go back to the way it was before the restore point, it still works today 🙂

    Kindly report this through Feedback Hub, also have you used the QuickAssist app?

    I am not familiar with the Remove desktop app,

    Thank you 🙂

      I've used windows for over 20 years bud.

      I'm a bleeding edge user.

      You can passively aggressively insist your system Restore works on your home or oem edition windows, no one cares.

      OP has a point, and you're just here shilling for Microsoft for goodboy points, or so Microsoft doesn't have to actually answer our question or fix their product.

      Go away fake. ";)"

       

      Linux system Restore works 99% of the time regardless of the system. Why doesn't windows?

        Hi DrCosmar,

        May I ask what is the error with the system restore point, can you make a video of the issue so I can find out how to fix it?

        I really do want to help you out here, I am trying to help as many people as possible! I am using Windows 11 Professional and it's not special.

        I am not a fake,
