i have been geeking since 2003 and the only pc i ever got system restore you work on was xp , maybe i am just unlucky... i now have the same problem with both a shop bought pc and a pc specialist built rig both running windows 10 ..
i got the op system on disc for the custom built rig.....
i made a recovery program on a usb pen just in case the windows creator program caused me any problems.... the 3 options to use it are , refresh pc without loosing files , automatic repair and reset pc...
as sys restore wont work could i use the refresh option as a type of system restore and make a newer version of the recovery pen every so often.

I'd be concerned if Windows System Restore wasn't working for me, that's not normal (though I have it turned off because I don't need it).

Personally I believe the best recovery technique is to cut regular disk images of your system drive, I cut a new one on a schedule overnight and keep only the last 30 days images. That gives me 30 days worth of options to restore from, and I get exactly the system back that was running on that day. I use Macrium Reflect (free) to do that.
