Error encountered during system restore: critical process terminated.
Error encountered during system restore: critical process terminated.
Hi, I’m working with an XPS 15 9575 running the latest Windows 10. After updating Dell software, performance seemed off, so I restored my system to a previous state. This time it worked well and everything functioned normally until I restarted. Now I’m stuck in a "Critical_Process_Died" boot loop. I’ve tried restoring again but it fails consistently, DISM reports error 50. I really don’t want to have to reinstall Windows.
Have you attempted fixing issues using an ISO? Executing sfc and DISM commands via the command prompt during startup on a Windows ISO?
I've tried executing "SFC /Scannow" and it returns an error about Windows Resource Protection not working. Any DISM commands I run seem to immediately trigger the "error 50" message. I have restore points available, including a system restore and two others, but restoring via System Restore from the recovery menu keeps failing with the same protection warning. I've looked at guidance from Google and followed some steps, but they end up reporting zero bytes or causing another BSOD. I also attempted a registry backup command and a chkdsk scan, yet both hit the same critical error.
It seems like you're expressing strong disapproval. Let me know how I can assist further.
