System Restore fails: AppxStaging %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApp 0x80070091
Hi, thought I'd check if System Restore was still functional and got
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)
I found SFC /scannow failed, so used Kyhi's excellent Image Health tool

to resolve DISM issues and get SFC /SCANNOW passing.
System Restore still fails.
I've run some repairs using Tweaking.com's repair tool for permissions, turned System Restore off and on, turned off Avast, tried System restore from Safe Mode. The event log contains nothing useful I've seen- just a bare statement of An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070091).
Research shows some reports of this, but I've found no clear resolution.
This exact report was posted on this forum earlier this year, with no replies.
I've not done anything to %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps like changing its ownership as some do.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
