No restore points!
So I got a little crazy turning off and deleting stuff with Autoruns while trying to reduce my boot time, which was around four minutes.
Afterward it went to over six minutes, so I thought I'd just use system restore to put things back the way they were. I always am setting restore points whenever I mess with system settings and it has saved me repeatedly.
But I am informed that none of the recovery points (at least a dozen) have usable registry data! What? And Startup Repair had no positive result - that was a shot in the dark.
I hate to consider the possibility of needing to reinstall the OS. But that business of no usable registry data is very disconcerting.
Anybody have some insight into this?
Thank You!
