system restore is always initializing

Hi Baz162 and Welcome to Seven Forums, the place where problems come to die. Need to ask, Baz, do you have any anti-virus software running and if you do, which one? :)

I have the curent Avast installed but this problem was happening when i had AVG before

Ok Baz, my opinion is that you are going to have to disable your anti-virus in order to run system restore. It solved the problem for me. Let me know how it works out.

Thanks for the advice i will give it a go and get back to you.

OKy dok. :)

ok i disabled my anti-virus and give it another go with no luck still got stuck on the system restore is initializing... i then tryed it in safe mode just to be on the safe side with no luck starting to think this pc dont like me

The only other thing I can think of Baz is to disable anti-virus and turn real-time protection off on your Windows Defender. If your using the same system restore point, perhaps use a different one as well. I hope this helps but if it doesn't, you could put up a post that the problem is not resolved and hopefully someone else with more experience will give you a different suggestion. We have a lot of very smart people here at SF and I'm sure someone has a better idea. Sorry this hasn't worked out yet, but keep up hope. Good Luck

Hello Baz. You may have damaged or corrupt system files. I'd suggest running System File Checker from an elevated command prompt (option two, this tutorial.)

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

If SFC detects file problems, run it at least 3 times. Let us know if it works or not because there are other things to try.

ok i tryed the System File Checker with no luck but worth a try
