System Restore Onedrive Error

[Map Rousch]

Ihave completed system recovery from an image without problem but on several occasions I have come up against this error when trying to correct a problem using system restore which would be easier to use if I could. I still have the problem if I run the system restore in safe mode with the same failour message

From what I understand (note that this is not within my scope of expertise in any way) when you run the System Restore your computer tries to restore a placeholder file from your external drive (yes, I noticed the " D:\ "part on that file's path) and fails for some reason. Do you have that external drive connected to your computer when performing your system's recovery?

I wouldn't put it past MS to do this on purpose, given that you are a competitor for their OneDrive, but this is untenable for me. I have a very tight deadline, and I have wasted 3 days on this process because Dell sent me a crap update.

I can pretty much tell you there is no workaround, other than changing the files that are saved in the restore point before you save it. After this file is included, you are out of luck. I work at Microsoft and I tried literally everything to edit the restore point with help from some developers here, and ended up just reinstalling Windows 10.

Yet another person here that was hit by this issue. Windows 10 ended up in a reboot loop after a failed Windows Update and after a lot of frustration not being able to use System Restore I found this forum thread. I lack words to express how disappointed I am to find out that Dropbox apparently has known about this for quite some time but still haven't fixed it.

I myself thought I'd give Dropbox support a chance to make things right so I contacted them and asked for status on this issue before I take a decision on how to proceed. If they will not fix this, I'll cancel Dropbox both personally and for my company and will recommend all other Windows 10 users to do so. Having a backup application corrupting an important recovery mechanism in your OS is simply astonishing when it's a known issue.

2) "Social media is a good way to raise the profile of a given issue" .. "The more people who raise the issue, the higher priority it becomes". If I've been a paying customer for a product during many years and discover a serious bug, should I really have to turn to social media to raise awareness?

Even though I do not like having to do it, I am adding my story here to increase the chances of us being heard. I'm about to ask Dropbox support one more time whether they really feel like it's the right decision to add this as a feature request and not a bug to be fixed. Their response will determine whether I will continue using Dropbox at all in the future.

Same thing just happened to me on a lenovo, got stuck in a reboot loop due to a failed windows update. Tried to roll back. Error due to dropbox cache files. Had to boot to safe mode. uninstall dropbox. delete dropbox folder from the drive. still wouldnt restore. Ended up with a system reset. Not very happy, I understand it's likely a windows issue, but it's also something dropbox should be able to assist with.

The placeholder.bat in the Dropbox cache file destroys Windows System Restore Does anyone know how to restore Windows when Dropbox has been installed? You can exclude specific directories in restoration points in the future but before you realize this Dropbox has destroyed your system restore and you are unable to roll back. How do you exclude the Dropbox cache placeholder.bat from old restoration points?

As I understand from my own investigation and previous comments here it seems that it's unfortunately impossible. This is what makes this issue so serious becauce once you discover what the issue is you are already screwed and can do nothing about it.

After you configure the Mail application to connect to an Exchange or Office 365 server and accept the Make my PC more secure security policies, some files in the user profile will be encrypted by using the Encrypting File System (EFS). And those files will be included in the restore point if you use System Restore to create a restore point. When you start the System Restore program to restore the system, System Restore creates a shutdown task to do the real restoration work. When this task is being executed, most system services are already stopped. This includes EFS.

However, if any file is being encrypted by EFS in the restore point, the System Restore program will have to call in to the EFS service to extract files of this kind from the restore point. But because the EFS service is already stopped and cannot be restarted because the system is being shutting down, the restoration process fails with error code 0x8007045b. This code means ERROR_SHUTDOWN_IN_PROGRESS.

In Windows RE, click Troubleshoot, click Advanced Options, click System Restore, and then follow the prompt to start the System Restore program. Because EFS is always running in Windows RE, and because System Restore doesn't have to create a shutdown task to perform the restoration work in Windows RE, this specific issue will not occur in Windows RE.

Last week Microsoft decided to replace a health Intel driver with a broken driver that I haven't yet identified. That's a problem for another day, currently I cannot restore my system to a working day as I receive the following error:

Hi,

0x80070057 most often has to do with the system partition not being correct if you used a 3rd party program and imaged the C partition only and not the system partition and the C then you'll have this error.

Hi,

It is not a Microsoft backup that may be a little difficult.

You could try the methods below:

I believe at this point I will need to give up on Microsoft's software working correctly out of the box and will have to abandon my plan on their System Restore process working for me as it is clearly broken.

The System Restore tool was first introduced with the release of Windows Me, and it has since been included with every subsequent version of the operating system (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11).

The tool can automatically or manually back up system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system settings. This data can then be used to rebuild the operating system to recover from system failures or other problems.

CHKDSK is a command-line tool whose purpose is to verify the file system integrity of a storage device and fix logical file system errors. As such, it can help when System Restore fails because of hard drive corruption. To use it:

Windows corruption errors can also be fixed using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool. This tool has a useful feature that uses Windows Update to fix system corruption, and this is how to use it:

The Windows operating system can start in Safe Mode or Clean Boot. The former disables everything but the most essential parts of Windows, while the latter disables only third-party software applications and drivers that are automatically loaded on start-up.

To fix System Restore that failed on Windows 11, you can run it again with your anti-malware software disabled. Microsoft explains how to turn off Windows Defender on its support website, and other anti-malware software vendors provide similar instructions.
