Advise on the "PC Win Booster" software

[MikeWill]

I'm running Win 10 Pro x64. 

Unfortunately, the System Restore does not work.

Is it safe (in your experience/knowledge) to run PC Win Booster by Soft4Boost?

I do not get the connection between restore point not working and asking about PC Win Booster.

To fix your restore point problem suggest google search "win 10 restore point not working" and follow the guides re sfc etc.

 

Regarding PC Win Booster I would not touch it with a barge pole.  It does nothing that you cannot do by yourself using in build win 10 functions and is full of unwanted ads etc.

Thanks for the reply, scottiejohn.

The connection is as follows: if something goes wrong, it'll be impossible to restore my system.

And yes, you're probably right, I would not touch PC Win Booster.

As for the System Restore, I tried everything except Repair Install.

Have you tried "Create restore point"?

 

Yes, what was the error message?

[MikeWill]

Hi Crossy,

Here is the message:

As a work around you could try Macrium Reflect (free) to create a backup of your system drive.

Thanks katana,

 

I use AOMEI Backupper - it's about the same.

Many reasons for that error but TuneUp seems to be a common one.

Thanks KittenKong,

 

I do not use TuneUp Utilities.

Good for you, hyku1147.

When I used system restore [windows 10] my system had to be reset because important files were missing. After the reset, my external keyboard, and my wireless mouse would not were not recognized. Plus, there were numerous additional problems.

I took it to Goodspeed [Chiang Mai] and , for 300 baht, they installed windows 7. Now I have a fast, trouble free system.

I guess that's called a down-grade. And how much malware, PUPs, rubbish  did they install as well. If it's working well now, why not up-grade to W10, new version in a week or so.

You can get the installation media FREE from M'soft, buy a genuine key on ebay for 3 quid and Robert's your father's brother.

Not for most users. I think it depends a lot on your particular machine, and how much you have messed around with it. Clean install on a properly configured PC = no problems.

I agree, but it doesn't mean that the previous versions ain't problematic.

I have had success with AOMEI one key recovery on many occasions.
