Vista - System Restore Takes Forever to Open

System Restore Takes Forever to Open

When I click System Restore it takes nearly 40 seconds top open.
Sometimes longer than that. When my patients runs out and I clisk it
again I get a message telling me it's already open. Where, I have no idea.

Anyone else having this problem?

It seems to be the way it works. I wish I knew why, but I don't.

Maintain your patience.

Re: System Restore Takes Forever to Open

Hello James,

Actually yes, I have experienced this before. You open System Restore and you think it didn't open so you try it again and it says something like: System Restore is already running, closing current session.

Maybe it just takes awhile to load as it has to read all the current and past restore points...

Same here.
Just be a little patient.

It takes so long that I have concluded it is analyzing the hard drive,
analyzing the shadow drive (or whatever it's called), and verifying
your moral worthiness. Especially the last...

Re: System Restore Takes Forever to Open

My problem is 10 seconds seem like along time for a program to "show itself"

Yes.

To amplify - the 40 seconds you mention is not out of line, in my
experience. At least two in this thread recommended patience. Now you
know why :-)

Wait until, after a major crash that seemed to destroy your system, you
try booting into "repair this installation". I'm not sure if I got the
name right, but I do remember maybe 40 minutes with no visible sign of
progress, or even activity, followed by a successful boot. That was
painful. I still shudder five or six months later, just remembering it
so I could write this post.

Just checked mine... 2 seconds.

Months ago it sometimes took a long time. I can't remember how long
ago that was... but it probably was last year sometime.
