Hi, this morning I discovered that System Restore stopped working correctly, because, after choosing a point, I got the error 0x80070005
(see the image).

I'm on Windows 7 Pro x64 (not planning to update to 8\10).
No active antivirus at the moment.
I've tried various solutions online, but noone worked.
Selecting a 20 days old point didn't work either.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've also encountered other problems not related to the first error, but discovered due to that:

- SFC /scannow couldn't repair some files like: themeservice.dll, themeui.dll, uxtheme.dll

- DISM doesn't have the usual /restorehealth parameter (only /scanhealth).. why??

- the "System Protection" tab is missing in "Safe mode" (bug or feature?).

---

Any suggestion?
Should I try a repair at this point? (NO refresh)

The only new thing I've installed in days is HWinfo. O_o
Also, the only "broken" thing was VLC.
I'm a bit puzzled right now..

hehehehehehe,I guess my virus worked...hehehehehehehe:)

Oh yeah, I made it!
I used System Restore from the Repair mode and it worked :D

No idea about that SR error or the other issues though.
Any comment about the rest?

Oh well..

- after various tries, SFC managed at least to repair themeservice.dll and uxtheme.dll.

- DISM /restorehealth seems to exist only on Win 8+ versions.

- no SR tab in "Safe mode" is probably a security feature.
