Hello everyone. New Guy here. I have a new Lenovo M83 mini-tower
running Win 8.1 64bit Pro OS .
While “exploring” the C:\ folder ( BUT not the C:\Windows folder), I
either deleted or hid a set of files. I tried to run the System Restore
program to recover them.
I received the following error message:
“System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer’s system
files and setting were not changed.
Details: System Restore could not access a file. This is probably
because an anti-virus program is running on this computer.
Temporarily disable your antivirus program and retry System Restore.
An unspecified error occurred during System Restore (ox80070005)”
I made sure my virus protection software was turned off and ran System
Restore a 2nd time. I got the same error message again.
I goggled the error code (ox80070005) and got many confusing entries.
Most of the discussion of this error code centers on its popping up
during a routine Windows system update, which is not my case.
Has anyone experienced this problem and solved it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions.
