System Restore is a great tool by default in Windows that can easily undo some changes created by any application or software in the computer thereby bringing our computer back in the safe state. But if the System Restore is not working then we surely need to fix this problem. Why System Restore is unable to restore? System Restore is unable to restore because it is not able to use the data backups created or they might have got corrupted, so we just need to update or delete them. Be sure you have the Administrator rights for the solution. Steps to fix the problem: 1. First of all try System Restore in the Safe Mode (boot in the Safe Mode and see if it also gives the problem). 2. If it gives the same problem then you need to scan the system for virus. 3.

Delete all the restore points ( Go to Tools -> Folder options -> View tab -> Check Show hidden files and folders and Uncheck Hide protected operating system
