System restore doesn’t work on windows 10

Here is the error message:

System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer’s system files and settings were not changed.

Details:

System Restore failed while restoring the directory from the restore point.
Source: AppxStaging
Destination: %ProgramFiles%WindowsApps
An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070091)

What I’ve tried so far:

• chkdsk /f /r C: (didn’t work)
• tried running in safe mode the system restore (didn’t work)
• tried with another system restore point (didn’t work)

Solution:

This happened to me after I updated my Lenovo’s drivers and had issues with driver power states. I was able to perform a restore by doing the following:

1. Boot into command line mode (search Advanced Startup in windows settings)
2. C:
3. cd C:Program Files
4. attrib WindowsApps -h this removed the hidden attribute
5. rename WindowsApps WindowsApps-renamed
6. exit
7. restore the system to the desired restore point
8. reboot normally or continue to windows

When the restore is complete, a previous version of WindowsApps will have been restored.

To then go back and delete WindowsApps-renamed:

1. win+x
2. a to open an Administrator Command Prompt
3. cd C:Program Files
4. takeown /f WindowsApps-renamed
5. rmdir WindowsApps-renamed /S
