    Error 0x80042308 when trying to create restore point


    Hi,


    I have a Lenovo i5 laptop with W7 64 bits. When I try to create a restore point I either get the error above or I get a success message. But in both cases no restore point is created when I check with Windows.


    I did a lot of searches and already tried this to no avail:
    - System restore off/on
    - Volume Shadow Copy service off/on
    - chkdsk /f
    - sfc /scannow


    Can you help me? Thank you!


    Cheers

    Update: I fixed the problem by checking the page file for fragmentation, ie Fix #5 here: No System Restore points: Fix for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
