Consider the following scenario:

• You create a restore point on a computer that is running Windows 8.1.
• You change some settings or install live updates.
• You try to restore the system to the system restore point that you created.

In this scenario, you cannot restore the system, and you receive an error message that resembles one of the following:

• System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.
• System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an anti-virus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus program and retry System Restore.
• An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070005)

Cause

This issue occurs because the desktop.ini file for the Microsoft OneDrive folder is read-only. The System Restore fails because the desktop.ini file does not change.
