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...

Jan 18, 2022Hi,
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?

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,- DrCosmarJan 20, 2022Copper ContributorI appreciate the sentiment, but I just reset the PC instead. That always seems to work.
If I hadn't neglected it I would provide you with the error information, but I was pressed for time and only tried twice.
System Restore has never worked for me anytime I have been asked to use it. I understand it might work well for you, and work well for others. It does not for the people proclaiming so here.
Such a critical function shouldn't need troubleshooting. If you are using it, chances are you are past the point of troubleshooting the initial issue anyways.
