To do this boot up and wait for the blue windows screen with the spinning circle, when you see that press and hold power button to shut down. I would recommend fully powering off the machine. If it is only flashing every 5-10 seconds then it is stuck. How do I know if System Restore is stuck? (if the malware left the system restore intact). Malware other than viruses, like spyware or adware, can sometimes be -not removed- by system restore, but stopped from working via a system restore. It can help with other types of malware though. System restore really won’t help you at all for a virus.
It can take a while for System Restore to reinstate all those filesplan for at least 15 minutes, possibly morebut when your PC comes back up, you’ll be running at your selected restore point. Windows will restart your PC and begin the restore process. Either the restore process has gone corrupt, or something has failed critically. Try waiting at least 6 hours, but if it doesn’t change in 6 hours, I suggest you restarting the process. Hello, depending on how much file is stored on your hard drive(or SSD), it will take time.
