I,d noted the the Upperfilters registry issue,as a step to resolve the problem,but you,ve done it anyway,:-).to be honest im not sure what effect they have or how they s just known to sometimes effect registry resore.im guessing that reg key,enables the volumeshadow copy snapshot of the system,that system restore relies on. Hi,it wont do any harm to run ckdisk.we,ll wait for aldfort to reply,since he initiated that avenue of troubleshooting.but you can go ahead and run it,just let the computer boot up,you,ll see chkdisk run,and then go into normal start up.

Should I continue with the chkdsk procedure? Please also give make and model of computer.Įdited by Wolverine 7, 20 March 2021 - 09:40 PM. Once we,ve looked at that,we can take further steps to resolve the system restore issue.theres various things we can try ,up to and including refreshing windows.if the hard drive is ok.Īs adfort said,it wouldnt be a bad idea to back up any important data,you want to keep,in case of fyrther issues. One thing at a time though.as well as running ease download - CrystalDiskInfo,install it,and post a screenshot of its main smart data window.then we can see how your systems drive health is.ldownload link below. The service can however be reinstalled if necessary. If chkdsk gives a clean bill of health then there are 2 more processes to run.įurther to adforts instructions.Although the System Restore Service doesnt appear to be running.that may,or may not be the issue.a strange windows glitch seems to happen where it IS running,but doesnt show up.it doesnt appear in my services either,for instance,and System Restore and everything else works fine. The /f tells it to fix errors.Ĭhkdsk does repair system files but there is no point in repairing system files if the disk is faulty. Keep an eye on the process to see if it reports errors. It is essential not to interrupt chkdsk when it is running. The system will shutdown and chkdsk will start as it reboots. The system will want to reboot, close all other programs and then press enter, To do this open a command prompt with admin priv's. The next sensible step is to run checkdisk. If not already done then back up all data to an external drive. This needs to be addressed as the next step, before proceeding any further please do check for the above. Without wishing to scaremonger it is possible that the disk drive is failing or system files are corrupted. Since this has all been mentioned before this is just a double check. if you are convinced there are none the next thing to look for is any 3rd party AV. That explains the greyed out boxes up thread.įirst I suggest you open task manager and look for any running HP utilities or any tune up programs and report back. Clearly Restore Point Service is Missing.
