system restore error

[Crypto123]

when i try to do system restore, i get error (0x80070005).
i've checked multiple restore points and it didn't work. also disabling antivirus didn't help.

Here are a few suggestions I found that might help

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

run chkdsk C: \f in command prompt (admin)
2 paragraphs will show up and press Y enter to agree to run on restart
restart PC and run scan

a few more ideas here: http://www.winfixs.com/2017/07/System-restore-error-0x80070005.html - I don't think you can run system restore in safe mode since only way to get to it now is via advanced startup

i get "Repair-WindowsImage' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

for chkdsk i get "Invalid parameter - \f"

that top command should work, i give you the command prompt alternative
open cmd (admin)
copy/paste this in - spacing is important
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press enter

its same command as powershell, just formatted differently.

as for chkdsk, i am just an idiot... its chkdsk c: /f

I don't run it often enough myself to know direction of the slash. Sorrry about that.

Why are you trying to run system restore anyway?

a game stopped working for some reason.

If they were corrupted, chkdsk may have done removed the restore points.

search for "reliability history" in cortana and see if any errors showing in here. it might give a clue as to what is wrong with the game. What game is it? Does it just not load or stops working?

System restore is the last thing I would try to do to fix a game, or pretty much anything on PC. In the past, I have found it creates more problems than it fixes, as while settings are reversed, it makes no allowances for new programs installed since date of restore file, so can mess PC up.
