SOLVED : issue when creating System Restore Points from TRW

<< < (2/3) > >>

Shane:
You can download the registry backup separately. The settings.ini file for it with the Windows Repair gets over written since it is meant to run with the program. The fallback option just uses the Windows API to backup the files instead of trying to use VSS.

Since I need to make sure users make a registry backup before the repairs I have it do it with the fallback method because it is so much faster.

If WMI does need repaired you can run the Repair WMI in the repair list and then reboot :wink:

Thanks for the clarification.  I think I still prefer the VSS method since it never fails.  Regarding WMI functioning or not, I'll check before if it's system restore creation points start working again.  If not I'll try the WMI repair.  I just fail to see why it would be damaged, the PC is almost new. Granted, I have already added tons of software but this would be strange.  I'll have a look at windows error logs and see if I can pinpoint something.

MerleOne:
WMI seems to be functional (at basic level). If I type wmimgmt.msc, then right click on WMI control (local) I get the attached info. Seems normal to me, even if I have read troubleshooting WMI is quite complicated.

MerleOne:
Eureka : the solution was in Windows Error Logs : I have a nice & explicit message from System Restore saying no restore point has been created since there is already a recent one, too recent to create another one. That explains why sometimes it did work.

Good find. Odd that it doesnt even let the user create one if it is very new lol
