Nothing will install when Restore is on

[Guest]

Nothing (not even a regular update) will complete its installation while
System Restore is turned on. Can anyone help please?

I have a twin hard disk system running RAID0. Could this be part of the
problem?

Hi Rod,

Let's take a look at Event Viewer for any System Restore logs that may
have been created recently that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in
the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the
two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event
information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two
event here. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?

Thanks Bert

I have done as you suggested. There is no "sr" under source, but here is
"srservice".
