No, I did not, because even if it works in safe mode, it does not solve the problem of NOT being able to do the same thing in "regular" mode.
I'll be damned if I have to go to safe mode every time I need to do a system restore.
I know it works better in safe mode, but that is not the point.
Thank you for you help and suggestion.
Huge thread on Appxstaging and System Restore:
System Restore fails: AppxStaging %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApp 0x80070091 - Windows 10 Forums
albeit different error number.
Your error number: e.g.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ere-is-encrypt
System Restore Point errors: 0x8007045b and 0x80070057 - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums
Which Windows build are you using?
Search text for you:

No 3rd party AV.
Strictly Windows Defender.
Both mini pcs bought brand new. Never had 3rd party AV installed.
Big thank you to all trying to help.
I won't be bothered to fix it.
Please don't waste you time on this problem of mine.
Again, thank you.
Try Rollback RX if S Restore isn't your cup of tea. And yes, I know you didn't want any fancy backup tools. Well, you've got one anyway- the nearest freeware/licensed tool to SR.
In simple terms - system restore is an unreliable POS. Imaging tools are far reliable and quicker.
