Troubleshoot I dun goofed: System restore does not run through and I have issues with settings I made using W10Privacy and others

[NulFunction]

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

See OP

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

System restore, SFC, DISM. They all don't work

Hi

I recently used several privacy enhancing programs. Now I found some issues with these changes so wanted to turn back to default. I tried the restore point I made before setting em, but the restore process always ends in a message that it failed after reboot. (Even tried to restore from safe mode)
So I looked in the program and tried using the backups of the settings they first discovered. Unfortunately they are overwritten with my current setup FOR GOD KNOWS WHY! Even the change date is still the old one.

I guess that, from these three programs, it was W10Privacy who #####ed something up. (Others were O&O ShutUp and windows privacy tweaker)
Now I could go through it deactivate the culprit, but that is no solution because:
- Which setting did interfere with proper execution of system restore?
- Which setting does stop two specific links on my desktop to not use their icons anymore?
- Which setting does stop the Store application from reinstalling sticky notes? (It's not the obvious one! Reinstalling with it does not work)
- Which setting does stop the download of windows updates? (They stop at "Pending download")
- Which setting prohibits the dimming of my screen? (Laptop, via FN key.)

None of these issues are things that I can set.
I don't want to make a reset again.

Thank you!

Do you have any backup image drive?

That would have been a very easy solution, but no. My believes are that they harm more than they do good.

EDIT: I just accidentally read that "dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" reverts many changes made to settings, windows bloatware and whatnot. I'll try that.

EDIT:
Oh, for [moderated] sake!

This is why you should have a backup image. Windows Restore Point is not reliable at all. You can buy a cheap 1TB portable drive use for backup with free backupper like AOMEI or Macrium Reflect.

 

[Deleted Member 3a5v73x]

I always whenever new Windows upgrade comes out, save my documents and make a system image in MRF, create a USB with MediaCreationTool with newest Windows and do a basic installation without custom settings/programms and create another system image, then install all my daily needed software/set settings and create another image, then I'm all set.

I suggest you mate start everything from the beginning with clean install and learn the basics of Macrium Reflect Free, it will save you time in future and you will be grateful for doing that.

System restore points sometimes may become corrupted and you really shouldn't relay on them. I also in the past when changed gpedit/regedit/messed with O&O, WPD stuff forgot afterwards what settings I changed and Windows updates may disable some settings from time to time, so you have to re-do them and all that hassle. Save your nerves and either look at the Macrium Reflect Free or Aomei Backuper. Good luck.

 

[redsworn]

This is from your security config thread:

Disk Imaging Backup: None. I don't need that. Simple reinstall would only mean my system will be harder next time.

Maybe it's the time to change your mindset. Stop being so stubborn and get yourself an imaging software. Imaging and backup in general are good security practice.

 

[bulamber]

Try with your original iso windows image file, or dvd disk, ant try with system repair

 

[show-Zi]

Try booting from another boot drive. So there are cases where restoration succeeds. It is also recommended to check the system file with sfc etc after the restoration is successful. In many cases the consistency is confused and the system is in an unstable state.

Although restoration is a convenient recovery method, I think that it is better to recognize it as an adhesive bandage degree. In my personal opinion, the restoration point is a consumption time limit of about six hours after creation.
Consider regularly backing up the system image. Here it is reliable as long-term use as frozen food as possible.

 

[Ink]

System Restore is insufficient. If you cannot fix or repair the OS, try Reset this PC (Keep personal files).

Originally System Restore was disabled by default for Windows 10 RTM. Is this still the case for Windows 10 v1803, clean install?

 

[illumination]

Hard lesson to learn messing with many 3rd party applications, that corrupted the system. At this point, you would be better off, using the media creation tool as you listed in your config, and wiping the system and performing a clean install.

Restore points "if you enable", images both external and built in can become corrupted as well, a fresh burn of W10 1803 to a flash drive, and verified files intact, will be your best bet.

In the future i would recommend not utilizing 3rd party applications to try and achieve the impossible. You can not have privacy now days without "you just experienced it", crippling your OS...

Ok... I'm looking at Macrium Reflect Free. Does it work with an external HDD over USB? I guess you get a live CD which you boot from. (I only need to backup a maximum of 75% of my 150GB SSD space.)
But regular images? How do I know I am not infected at the time I make an image? I could back up rootkit malware and never get rid of it.
I guess that is paranoid.

EDIT: Seems like DISM or SFC repaired stuff. Windows Update does work now and at least one of the two missing icons on my desktop are back. XD How is that even possible?

EDIT: Oh yea, someone said to try DISM with a windows cd. Doing that now
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\sources\sxs
edit.. nope. doesn't even start. I'll try to run some repair from the cd.

It works with drives using USB 3.0 . If you are going to use Aomei free backupper, you can put a description under your backup. Make sure you run your antivirus scanner just to make sure it is virus free before doing an image backup. I don't know about Macrium Reflect because I haven't used it at all.

EDIT: Oops I forgot I have the diagcab for troubleshooting windows update. I've done that. Works.

Did you run Windows Update troubleshooting?

Yes, sry, that's what I meant with "works"
I may try to create a new system restore point and see if it can be restored...
then look if DISM works again and maybe I'll make an image of my installation afterwards. (DISM needs windows update, afaik)

Time to create an image backup on a separate drive.

Unfortunately nothing has helped make DISM work again. I tried chkdsk at system boot, but that only got to 16% the last time I tried. I'll do that again next, but before I'm going in the W10Privacy app and uncheck almost everything.

I think the more you try to fix your system at this current stage, the worse it will get. This is why you need an image backup in the first place, and not the Windows System Restore.
