Hi svk1234,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft answers!
Check if Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service is disabled.
This behavior is by design. Disabling System Restore will limits the ongoing usefulness of System Restore on the computer.
To re-enable, please try:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Template\System\System Restore.

Hey Simon,
In order to open gpedit.msc you click the start button then type gpedit.msc into the box that says 'Search programs and files' and press enter. That will open the application.
Then follow the instructions from there and let us know if you have any other issues. :)

Hi Dmustrzlv,
Perform SFC scan and check if this is related to corrupted or missing system files.
Let us know the status of the issue.
I'd be splitting your post so as to avoid confusion over the existing thread.
