Registry backup
oldgray1938:
Does the registry backup option produce a copy that is a duplicate of the create restore point in the Windows 10 protection process? When I used create a restore point in Windows 1o Pro the restore point recovery does not work. The restore operation with this program seems to work. Any comments or insights with regard to this question/issue.
Thanks

I've found that when you use the program's create a restore point, it doesn't create one and you are better off using the registry back up.
You can check this by using the program to create a restore point and then go into System Protection/Restore where you'll see no new corresponding restore point was created.
I've broached this with Shane, but wasn't sure I'd gotten my point over from his answer which was to use the registry back up.

I can create restore points but when I go to use a restore point I get a message "
System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.
Details:
System restore failed while restoring the directory from the restore point.
Source: AppxStaging
Destination: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps
An unspecified error occurred during System Restore
Multiple tries produce the same response. You can try System Restore again and choose a different restore point. If you
continue to see this error, you can try an advanced recovery method
Even creating a new restore point and then immediately trying to recover with this new restore point fails with the above message.
Boggin:
Are those restore points created by the program or manually by you ?
Usually the prime reason why a restore operation fails is because of an antivirus program blocking it.
The workaround to that is to try the restore in Safe Mode where all 3rd party programs are isolated.
You can either do that by booting to Safe Mode through the program or go in through Settings/Update & security/Recovery and use the Restore function from there.
However, yours is a different problem and in a Google search it has been found that January's update KB3213986 could be the cause of this.
While I've seen a couple of fixes by taking ownership of WindowsApps and renaming it to .old, the way I would approach this would be to perform a repair install, checking the box for not to search for updates during the process.
The updates will then auto download and install after the repair install and a reinstall of that update may resolve.
I've just done a system restore on my other Win 10 laptop and get the same error as you but with the error code 0x80070091.
I'm going to perform a repair install on that machine and will get back to you on the result.
A repair install doesn't affect your personal stuff or installed programs.

Answers to your questions:
1-The restore points were created both manually by me and automatically by the system. In fact as a test I manually created a restore point and after its creation changing nothing on the pc attempted a restore and still got the error info shown in an above message.
2-This program is installed on my three computers. The same antivirus program Trendmicro is also on all three pc's. I am having problems on only my Windows 10 Pro pc. The other work fine with the ability to use restore points to recover from my screwups. I have never had to turn off Trend on the other pc's.
3-I tried safe mode but the restore capability is not available in safe mode.
4-Again this restore capability is not available in Safe mode.
5-Not sure about your comments on this one .
6-I saw the suggestions for this one. There are actually three things to try. Two did not work and who ever posted them one was not complete. Was unable to rename WindowsApps to WindowsApps.old. If this had worked then the next reboot of the pc would have resulted in the rebuild of WindowsApps?
7-The repair install is above my skill level and will wait till my buddy visits.
Thanks for the info
