Reboot System Restore

Reboot System Restore
If System Restore is failing to restore your system, starting fresh may be your best option. At least future restore points will work.

It's also a good idea after cleaning up malware. Otherwise, you might accidentally reinfect your PC by restoring the wrong point.
