March 10, 201610 yr Hi, this morning I discovered that System Restore stopped working correctly, because, after choosing a point, I got the error 0x80070005(see the image). I'm on Windows 7 Pro x64 (not planning to update to 8\10).No active antivirus at the moment.I've tried various solutions online, but noone worked.Selecting a 20 days old point didn't work either. How can I fix this? --- I've also encountered other problems not related to the first error, but discovered due to that:- SFC /scannow couldn't repair some files like: themeservice.dll, themeui.dll, uxtheme.dll- DISM doesn't have the usual /restorehealth parameter (only /scanhealth).. why?? - the "System Protection" tab is missing in "Safe mode" (bug or feature?). --- Do you have any suggestion?Should I try a repair at this point? (NO refresh) Edited March 10, 201610 yr by phaolo
March 10, 201610 yr Author Oh well, I solved at least the first problem.I used System Restore from the Repair mode and it worked No idea about that SR error or the other issues though..Any comment?
March 11, 201610 yr Author Sigh.. this forum has become quite empty since some months Anyway: - after various tries, SFC managed at least to repair themeservice.dll and uxtheme.dll. - DISM /restorehealth seems to exist only on Win 8+ versions. - no SR tab in "Safe mode" is probably a security feature.
March 11, 201610 yr The error would indicate a file was locked or being used by another process that System Restore wanted to use. I guess we'll never know what was using it.
