Hello all,
I am new to this forum but I have been looking quite extensively through existing threads to hopefully find an answer to such a ridiculous problem (i.e. I've done my reading). With that said, I have attempted some of the advice that some of you have offered but to no avail.
So this is my situation: I have been trying to restore my Windows 8.1 64 bit PC to an earlier date, prior to installing Lenovo Power Manager 7.0 (Windows 7 version) on my Lenovo T450s . Although it has been running quite fine at times in Windows 7 Compatibilty mode, it still has issues as it doesn't remember my battery settings when I bring the PC back from hibernate mode. Anyway, I can't uninstall it the traditional way (i.e. there is no uninstall option) and don't want it on my PC anymore; so System Restore is my only desirable option at this point as I would prefer not to have to "Refresh" or Reset it back to manufacturer settings. However, System Restore is not working (this is my first time trying to use it). Every time that I try to, I get an error that "system restore could not be completed and nothing was changed", blah, blah, blah with an error code 0x80070571. [BTW, initially, the error code was 0x80070005 but through all the tweaking/changes I've attempted so far, somehow it evolved to the other.]
These are the measures I have taken with unsuccessful results:
1) System Restore in Clean Boot and in Safe Mode (through the "Shift+Restart" advanced options)
2) Disabled Antivirus and attempted System Restore
3) Changed the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider and Volume Shadow Copy to 'Automatic'
4) SFC /Scannow - this one supposedly found a corrupt file(s) which could not be fixed; results logged in the CBS.log file
5) Chkdsk /R - took a while to run but didn't find any errors
6) DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - 100% good
7) My computer > C:/ > properties > Tools > check for file system errors - no errors found
**note: PC is up-to-date with Windows Updates, drivers, etc.
I feel like I am running out of options here. Do any of you have any more tips? Although otherwise the notebook is running fine and dandy, it is really bugging me that I cannot use this simple yet essential function, which I may need to use at a future time when the OS really craps out on me. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
