System Restore Not Working, Can't install programs


Recommended Posts

System retore is not working, so can't use or install several programs. Programs try to make a "restore point" as part of installation and it never completes the restore.

See this tutorial on enabling/disabling automatic system restore point creation in Windows 8:

You also want to make sure it is turned on and has adequate free space for your installations to auto-create new restore points as needed (FYI, mine is turned off):

Good luck,
