I’ve tried everything and whatever I do the end result is always...”Preparing Automatic Repair”

Thanks, this worked. System Restore wouldn't work in Windows or in safe mode. I'm surprised though at how long it took. After an hour I thought it was stuck, and I was going to pull the plug, but then it finished. I don't recall Windows 7 taking more than a few minutes to do system restores.

After i clicked next it says, you must enable system protection on this drive. What shoould i do? :/

"No restore points have been created on your computer's system drive. To create a restore point open system protection."

You are a GENIUS! I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus running on my system and i disabled it and tried to run System Restore but i kept getting an error message. When i tried the other option of running System Restore that you suggested - it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

I did this and it said "there was a problem resetting your pc" like if it happened to you too

Thanks a million for such a helpful video!  I'm a visual learner and seeing the steps was so much better then reading them in text.  My HP Envy laptop (13 months new) suddenly went to black screen after logon---spent probably 10 hours reading through posts on an older laptop trying to figure out how to repair this apparently common problem.  Your video helped me access the restore point to just before a Windows Critical update messed everything up.  Your patient advice worked like a charm----so thrilled!  Wish computers/laptops worked as well as they did years ago---when the only problem was not enough memory or processing speed.  Keep up the good work---thanks on behalf of humanity!

How do I do this if I haven’t created a restore point

[RubyLu]

I’ve never created a restore point so I can’t restore my PC. I tried swiping it clean to factory settings but every time I did that it returned to my desktop without removing any files or programs :(

[ryder]

even after following the restart process windows just starts again normally like it does still not have restored settings. also says am not the administrator while I am. its just frustrating

[joshuaripley]

Thank you. This not only fixed all my problems, but it brang back memories of nostalgia of how my computer used to be.

I started a system restore before knowing about the anti virus...it's been restoring for over 3 hours that seems a bit long. Can I stop it and try again

I tried system restore from recovery environment as I keep getting blue screen and my laptop won't start at all. But every time I do system restore, it will say it's finished and seconds after, it says it failed to restore

[jktamag]

Your guidance is very good and clear. But my window 10 does take me to 'Reset this PC' or 'advanced options', rather in just takes me to 'Startup Settings' only. So I do not find any options to reset it at all. I got this window 10 free while they were giving away in the beginning, now it looks like that they want me to pay for it if I want to reset or do with it anything. I tried all the ways but no way.
