Registry backup
oldgray1938:
Well here is the latest. Tried to see if restore points were working. Tested a restore point created with no changes.
Next tried to use that restore point to recovery to less than five minutes old. Got the same old error message that the restore failed due to problem with WindowsApps.
Next tried to delete all old restore points by disabling restore points. Rebooted the system and then created a new restore point and then attempted to use that restore point. System restore failed again with the same error pointing to the Windowsapps again.
Now creating an image of C only since that is all that is there. Once done I will try a recovery of only C as my means of saving my but. Till Microsoft fixes the WindowsApps problem I will use the long and safe method to recover. What i do for recovery is copy the image from the storage drive on my Diskstation to an internal Raptor drive and then recovery using EaseUStodo Home v10. Sending this now since when I reboot this will be lost.

You don't want to overwrite your previous image until you have restored with it to get the 450MB recovery partition back.

OK followed your advise. Now have the 450 MB partition back on the drive, WindowsApps work but restore points do not work. Will wait on trying to fix restore points next week. When the restore points fail the error message points to Windowsapps.
At the very least now I can do a full image recovery and forget about restore points.
Boggin:
You can use Option 5 in Windows Repair to create registry back ups and restore from those if required, but regular system images onto external media are always the best fall back.
Having restored from an image that pre-dates the WindowsApps renaming will set you back to where the restore points will fail and citing that as the cause.
