System Protection will not turn on
I recently had a power outage while Windows 7 (x64) was loading. System booted up fine. I went to do a system restore, but could not. When I go to select a restore point is says, "System Protection is turned off". I never turned it off and it will not let me turn it on. The C:\ clearly shows protection is turned on, but when I select system restore it says it is turned off.
I think I read most of the posts here on this issue, but no go. What I have tried:
Any ideas would be appreciated.
- Manually create restore point- Works fine. Repeated many times.
- .
- Turned System Protection Off and then back On- No difference
- Ran WMI.bet- No change
- Deleted all restore points- No change
- Ran VSS List Shadows- Got hits even though I had deleted all restore points
- Verified VSS is on- I have seen posts to say set to manual and set to auto. I have done both. No difference.
- SFC /SCANNOW- Found no integrity violations
- Tried to do a Repair Install- Cannot. I am running SP1. Comes back saying it cannot be done.
