Once the Windows operating system goes wrong, you can restore your computer to a previous state by the created restore points. However, one user recently told us that he wanted a system restore after upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 since the new OS ran quite slowly. But he got into the System Restore from the Troubleshoot option, an error message stopped him:. In general, this issue is very common and many users report that in forums like Reddit. If you are also bothered by this issue, although Windows says there are multiple restore points to restore, you still get the same message when restoring C drive, as shown below.
Simply speaking, it refers to a Windows feature to regularly create and save information about the system files and registry of your computer. Also, it saves previous versions of files you have changed and also saves these files in restore points before significant system events. For the drive that includes installed Windows operating system, System Protection is on by default. However, when the above issue occurs, this means the feature is turned off. To restore the system successfully, you should ensure System Protection is enabled.
For this issue, we will show you two ways to turn it on in this part. The recommended method by users is to use Command Prompt.
