Cannot restore beyond 10 days back

original title: System Restore problem

Need help on the system restore please. I want to restore at least a month, but it only allows me to max 10 days back.

Is something I could do to change that, thanks

If 10 days is the limit, he shows, nothing you can do about re this restoration.

I will include the use of system restore in this response.

As a new Restore Point is created the oldest is deleted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's how to change the system restore size to increase, so it keeps Restore Points more in the future:

Here are some tips on how to use the system restore:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

See you soon.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  The first thing I would suggest running a virus scan.  Make sure you have no virus causing problems.  If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can download it free here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

    If there is no virus or it still does not work after virus cleaning, then start in safe mode and test from there.  Here are the instructions for Safe Mode.

  • Cannot restore the backup to iCloud. Stuck on "remaining time: estimate.

    I bought an iPhone 6s a month ago. Saturday, the screen is dead - they said it was a bad card, so they gave me a new. Initially, the restoration of iCloud seemed to work very well, but some of my app data has not loaded up. These data are really important to me, so I thought I could restore the device again and see if it would transfer the data. Now it is stuck on "remaining time: estimated...» "FOREVER.

    I tried the hard reset a dozen times. I tried to restore back to factory settings. I tried to load the old backups. No matter how long I leave Restoration - I left it all night - I I found with the message "cannot restore backup iCloud," no matter what backup I use. I talked to Apple Care. No one can understand why it does not work. The guy at the Genius Bar said it might have to do with the fact that my carrier settings were not switched correctly when they gave me the new device. He has updated and was told to wait another day and try again. I did this. It STILL gets stuck on screen and didn't budge!

    What could possibly go wrong? Why does a job the first time and now this? The only thing I can think is that it is a problem of iCloud... So frustrating! Help, please!

  • cannot restore from the previous date says computer is unprotected I just get rid of the virus of audit system

    rid of virus check system but cannot restore the computer to the previous date

    You never said how you got rid of the "System Check" malware. As far as we know, he is still there. Follow these instructions (if you have not already done so):

    Also, as Jose pointed out, there are programs that are designed to interfere with the system restore (Norton is one of the most common). But there are really two questions. First of all, we will treat your malware problem. We can always revisit SR at a later date.
    Finally, even once as Jose pointed out, you NEVER run the system restore after the removal of the malware! Which could only bring him back! That you have to turn it off and then put it again, which will REMOVE all previous restore points. You really all gone!
  • System Restore utility cannot restore to restore point

    I am under Windows XP SP 3 and have a disconcerting problem.  (SR) system restore will not restore my system to an earlier time.  SR is activated and creates automatic restore points every day, and I can also create points of restoration on request.  But when I actually try to restore the system to one of these points, the RS utility is unable to do with the useless message that it was impossible to restore my PC to an earlier time and no changes to my PC.  I suspect that some interviews I've done recently is the culprit.  I downloaded and installed a maintenance of Uniblue software, including Registry Booster and Rescue Disk.  The first is an optimizer registry/cleaner and my PC doesn't seem to work faster as well.  The latter is a disk defragmentation tool, and when it runs, it displays the names of files and folders, as it reorganizes.  I noticed it was the defrag the System Volume Information folder, including RPxxxx files, which of course contain restore point information.  (It is my understanding that the System Volume Information folder is not available for normal Windows interface and how this tool is there to do for maintenance is a mystery to me.)  But since I have used these two tools, the RS utility has not completed a restoration successfully.  It doesn't matter if I try to restore to a prior restore point or after the time when the interview was made.  I can create a restore point and immediately try to restore it with negative results.  I uninstalled the software Uniblue, but that did not fix my problem.  How can I overcome this severe limitation and recover the critical capacity of system restore?  Thank you very much...

    I've never seen Vista for more than a few minutes, but it is a fairly common problem with XP.  It is usually not a problem to Microsoft at all.

    (You are in a group XP... Vista forums are here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsvista)

    Here is my copy/paste standard for an XP system with the problem described by capehaze13 above.  Maybe it will give you some ideas or to reflect:

    Some tools AV 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:

    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...

    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:

    http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013

    Depending on what you use for malware protection, you will maybe disable the product temporarily, make the system restore and then turn on the product.

    Sometimes, you will need boot mode safe, and while that your protection programs do not, then do the system restore.  Microsoft refers to this in some of their writings too and it works sometimes favorably (do the system restore in Mode safe that is).

    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

    No matter what you use, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Cannot go beyond the Office in standard mode, various scenarios of (non-performance issues) freezing. Safe MODE works very well.

    I bought a sony vgnfz240e made a restore disk that day until something was done with my laptop.  A little later, they had me try to restore and it did not work said there was something wrong with my hardware. I'm finally back and at that time there there is no notes on the book of sony that I needed to make new disks but I asked the technicians of the company if I were to make a new.  Says no, and now that I went to reset my computer to factory settings it is errors on the disk and is not a corrupt disk either.  I show no operating system, but they say that there is a way.  I need help.  I have vista home Premium can someone help me please.

    Here are the General information relating to the recovery.

    Contact Sony for the exact details.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Cannot restore backup iOS 10 iCloud

    Hi, I have updated my iPhone to iOS 10 6 yesterday making a new installation (with IPSW restore via iTunes) then I could restore from my last backup (I backup with iTunes).

    After the update, while completing the initial installation of the phone, I choose "Restore from backup iCloud" then I select the backup that I want to restore, but once the backup is complete download I get a message "cannot restore backup. I tried several times and also with the previous backups of the same phone as well as with the same result.

    Is this a bug with iCloud? Is there another way I can restore my apps on my iPhone for this backup?

    iPhone 6s more stuck in the mode of the brick after downloading ios10. Cannot restore via iTunes. error 3014

    After the update to ios10, my 5s iPhone seems to work very well. I reconnected it to iTunes and then it bricked, and I panicked.

    iTunes synced a couple of times, it took about an hour and a half for me. After that it stopped its cycle of synchronization, I unplugged my iPhone - it still bricked. I then did a hard reset and it worked.

    Maybe I got lucky, maybe my iPhone and iTunes need a kick in their buttocks.
