Win 7 - Unable To Restore The System

Options

Short story:


After a power outage this Windows Seven system does not shut off completely.


I tried to do a system restore by selecting a previous restore point. This had happened before and I never had any problem to restore Windows when I was running another anti virus.


To my surprise, with Bitdefender Free it was not possible. The restoration seemed successful but after restarting Windows and login, there came that message, briefly:


"Unable to restore the system because it could not write to file. Disable your anti virus and try again."


Well, I was forced to restore a system image, backup that was done a few days before that power outage. It's running fine right now and I can shut off the system again.


Unfortunately that's why I had to uninstall Bitdefender and get back to my old free and trusted anti virus.


You need to fix it as soon as possible.


By the way: Who would buy the full version with this problem?

    I've experienced the same problem in Windows 7 today. Last week the same thing in XP,


    also due to BD Free.


    I think BD Free has great potential, but I don't think it's ready for prime time.


    I have uninstalled it and reverted to Avast! Free

  • Any fix about this issue?

  • A good reason for a battery UPS.
