System Restore - odd message
I recently had cause to do a System Restore for Win10, when my PC failed to boot. I inserted my WinRE pendrive and booted to that and entered the Advanced Start screen and then the 'Troubleshoot' option. When I chose System Restore from that screen I got the following message:-
To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer. select an operating system, then select System Restore.
This has not occurred before, and seemed that WinRE was unable to see my C: drive. I still managed to use System Restore by going into the Command Prompt, then running:- rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows, which then took me to the screen that I was trying to get to in the first place. I then selected my restore point, and System Restore then did its job and I could boot once again to my C: drive.
So any ideas why I was getting this message, which on several attempts now shows each time on Win RE?
