System restore failed

System Restore did not complete successfully..
“System restore failed to extract the file
i turned off AVG self protection...but nothing works fine pls help

 

OH NO!! This is another of my fears, needing to restore the OS at some point and fail, and unable to see how to reinstall because my computer came with no installation disks.

Probably reinstalling the OS is a solution, but problem is data loss, hence let's wait for an expert advice instead.

 

Suggestions. Please do the followings in the order they are listed.......
1. Go to Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
2. In safe mode, run a ful

The Op is referring to system restore, not system recovery.

 

Clarification......
In my last reply, I wrote something with unfinished sentence.
I meant to delete that part first before making a reply. Apparently it did not work.
I apologize.

I was trying to suggest to the OP to go to Safe Mode and run a full virus scan.
After the scan, run a system restore in safe mode.

It is a little tricky accessing Safe Mode. MS has decided to hide Safe Mode. No sane man will understand why.
Safe Mode in Win 8.............

given link isn't work
i restarted then nothing showing safe mode options..it's going to directly windows 8 normal mode !!

 

As to "i restarted then nothing showing safe mode options...."
I don't think you were following the instructions.

Let me do it this way. Follow the steps below........
1. Restart computer
2.quickly press and hold Shift+F8
( if you are late doing that, restart computer and repeat step #2 )
3. select Recover mode
4. select advanced repair options
5. click Troubleshoot
6. click the Advanced options
7. click Windows Startup Settings
8. click Restart
9. now you have Safe Mode options, take your pick.

Does that work for you?

 

safe mode option..then? system restore?

 

Yes. Do a system restore in safe mode.
See if you get the same error message or not.

 

shift+f8 is not working when restarting

 

No offense is intended.
However, reading your other posts led me to wonder if your win 8 ( or whatever ) is a valid copy.
If it is not, I can't help you.
I apologize if my reply has offended you

 

The shift+8 doesn't work well for my very valid copy of Windows 8 (came on the computer from bestbuy, with no install disk). How I get to the recovery options is by letting it boot to the login page then you press shift+restart an let go of the shift after it starts to restart. This will take you to the recovery options.
