Failure to complete a system restore, system repair and system RESET.
Hello everyone and thanks in advance for anyone that helps.
I am really troubled as I have been googling the hell out of this and trying many solutions with none of them working.
1) My pc first entered a loop when I tried to remove mcafee with their official remover. After the required reboot it could not enter windows no matter how time passed so I had to power it off.
2) Because I didn't like powering it off in the middle of something asking me NOT to power it off, I tried to system restore to a restore point 1 day prior to the event.
The system restore failed and gave me this error I believe 0x80070091
Googling to solve the problem asked me to rename the hidder windowsapps folder which requires some tinkering to do so. I tried to change the ownership and although I followed all the steps I could not rename this folder.
3) I then decided to try a system repair instead. It also failed and gave me this error C:\Windows\system32\logfile\srt\srttrail.txt.
Googling suggested that i do a chdisk or something on command prompt which I decided to not do before I backup my things since in the past I got wiped.
4) I backed up my computer and decided to do a windows 10 system reset. There are supposedly 3 options. A) reset but keep your files, B) reset but keep nothing and C) factory reset.
Not all PCs have factory reset and mine neither. I did option B and when asked about the sub option of making a full clean drive ( to protect you from getting your deleted items retrieved by others) I chose the simple delete(chose to keep nothing but with a simple delete).
5) The reset was complete but it mentioned that it could not delete all the files properly.
I tried a system repair just to see if my pc is "proper" now but the system repair failed again without giving any error..... I quit at that point...
