I installed windows 10 technical preview yesterday :pt1cable:. I found a problem with system restore. It goes through everything normally but after it reboots I get an error. In the details it says:

System restore failed to extract the original copy of the directory from the restore point.
Source: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps
Destination: Appxstaging
An unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x80070057)
How do I fix this?????????????????
 
Ok - this may sound obvious.. but try using the 'last known good configuration'

If that doesn't work.. when you press F8 on next restart, try running chkdsk C: /X /R /F from the command prompt and then attempt the restore.
 


Lol I've done that 3 times already. The root problem is that virtual-box for some reason disables my WiFi. I just wanted to try some different install settings and if it didn't work I could just revert instead of re-installing windows. I asked this question on the virtual-box forums here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=67263 but haven't gotten a response yet.
 
Here's the screenshot of the error message:
