    System Restore Error


    I've been facing issue while opening system restore. Noticed the problem today morning when the pc automatically went into recovery mode and attempted start up repair. I suspect the problem is related to AOEMI Backupper which i uninstalled (with revo uninstaller) and installed a newer version. I've tried uninstalling the software; tweaking 'Volume shadow copy' in Services method but it didn't work! any help!?

    Hi, there are several ideas here:
    System Restore encountered an error code 0x81000203

    You can try using Macrium Reflect's VSS repair feature:

    and Tweaking.com's free repair tool also features a VSS repair option (use cautiously, only select relevant repairs).

    More useful results if you search for

    0x81000203 system restore

    Still no luck? Perform an in-place upgrade repair install (tutorial available) using the same iso build as your installed O/S. (Build number unknown despite forum prompt).

    You might boot into Safe Mode and try a System Restore.

    Failing that, you might try this method -

    Create bootable Windows 10 installation media on a USB flash drive. Should be the same version that is installed on the problem computer(s).

    Boot the computer from the installation media.

    Click Next on the first screen.

    On the second (Install) screen, select Repair your computer at the bottom left.

    Select Troubleshoot.

    Select System Restore.

    Add the free Acronis VSS Doctor tool to your list of tries...I've had success with it in the past.

    Well the problem is that the last and only restore point created already has that problem, tried it before!

    Thank you for replying.

    Do you have a disk image you can restore? Tenforums members constantly and tirelessly recommend the routine use of disk imaging so you have a way to restore your PC to a previous good state without technical help, quickly.

    E.g. Macrium Reflect (free-paid). If not. lesson learnt.

    If all else fails, try an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all progs and data. Tutorial available.
