Cannot create restore point

Try the first 3 steps in this link Solved: Can’t Create Restore Point in Windows 10 | 4 Ways.
You do not need Bitdefender, you have Windows Security (Defender) that comes with Windows and provides all the protection you need, it is Free and updates with Windows. Use Bitdefender's Uninstaller to remove it, as it may be causing conflict with System Restore. Then restart the comptuier, see if you can create a System Restore point. We also don't suggest depending on System Restore, as it works until you need it. We suggest you create an Image file of your computer using Macrium Reflect or your favorite Clone software and saving the image on another drive in or external to your computer or Cloud Service.

Hi, could you please post a screenshot (picture) of your error message?

Upload it like this: - you may need to wait a second before the button that appears responds..


System Restore is great- when it works- and a great complement to using disk imaging regularly and routinely.

Hi, I have screen OCR'd your error message for search purposes for you:

There was an unexpected error in the property page: System Restore encountered an error. Please try to run System Restore again. [0x81000203] Please close the property page and try again.

Do you have any particular security software running? Try disabling or deactiving it, or a clean boot (Google or see tutorial if unsure how).

Then try again.
If no joy:

Please download and install Macrium Reflect (free) and run the VSS repair utility built in to it:


Then try again.

If no joy, see these search results, noting the VSS repairs will have been addressed by the above.
Fix: There Was an Unexpected Error in the Property Page

Thank you for your reply.

Please complete points in my post.

If still no success, you may proceed to perform an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all progs and data like any upgrade procedure.

You haven't specified your build as prompted by the forum


- you need an iso file for that of the same maor build as you have now - whatever that be.

Download the iso file (of the correct build- tutorial available)
Rt click it, click Mount (available unless iso association is not default).
Open the new drive letter created
Double click setup.exe

Hi, easy way- Google

Otherwise go to the Tutorial section and search for 'download Win 10 iso'

And if you want to use Google in a clever way try
