Solved: IlSpy Windows App Installation Issue Causing System Restore Problem
IlSpy is a popular open-source .NET decompiler that allows developers to analyze and reverse-engineer .NET assemblies. However, installing the IlSpy Windows app can sometimes cause issues, including problems with System Restore, particularly when using OneDrive as the storage location.
Problem: IlSpy Windows App Installation Causes System Restore Problem
After installing the IlSpy Windows app, some users may encounter a problem with System Restore, which fails to create a restore point. The issue is caused by a per-user problem that occurs when OneDrive is set as the storage location for System Restore points.
Solution: Changing the Storage Location of System Restore Points
To solve the problem, you need to change the storage location of System Restore points to a different drive or partition. Here are the steps to follow:
- Press the Windows key + X and select System.
- Click on Advanced system settings on the right side of the window.
- In the System Properties window, click on the System Protection tab.
- Under System Protection, select the drive or partition where you want to store the System Restore points and click on Configure.
- In the System Protection for window, select Turn on system protection and adjust the Max Usage slider to allocate enough space for System Restore points.
- Click OK to save the changes and close the window.
- Repeat steps 4-6 for all the drives or partitions where you want to store System Restore points.
- Once you have changed the storage location for System Restore points, try installing the IlSpy Windows app again.
Preventing the Problem: Disabling OneDrive for System Restore
To prevent the problem from occurring in the first place, you can disable OneDrive for System Restore. Here are the steps to follow:
- Press the Windows key + X and select System.
- Click on Advanced system settings on the right side of the window.
- In the System Properties window, click on the System Protection tab.
- Under System Protection, click on the Configure button.
- In the System Protection for window, click on the Delete button to delete all the restore points and free up space.
- Uncheck the Turn on system protection option and click OK to save the changes.
- Close the System Properties window and restart your computer.
