    System restore : No windows folder


    Hello,

    I try to use system restore but there are no windows drive in the last step regardless the restoration point.
    Instead I get :
    1, No drive found

    I tried in normal, safe mode and in recover mode.

    I used
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /rebuildbcd

    My windows partition is C:. It is active, sain and system. I did not compressed or encrypted the drive

    I ran sfc /scannow. There were some errors that were fixed.

    I'm still able to boot but no way to restore.

    Any ideas to help me restore ?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    The issue has been solved by disabling/enabling the system restore on the c Drive. (This operation must delete previous restore point !!!)

    I can't say what caused that. It may have been caused by using Easus partition master.

    Without sucess I tried to install the fix mentionnend here:
    System Restore Error 0x80070057 when running from Windows RE
