Windows 10: System Restore Failed to replace the file --- 0x80070780

I want to use the System Restore function but I simply can not get it to work.... ever. I've had like 6 different errors and I think I fixed them, however I'm stuck on this one:

System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.


Details:
System Restore failed to replace the file F:\Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Starbound\MicrosoftGame.config with its original copy from the restore point.

An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. 0x8007080




You can try System Restore again and choose a different restore point. If you continue to see this error, you can try an advanced recovery method.

For the love of god, all I want to do is use System Restore to go back to a previous restore point. I do not even care about that file or game. I've had a variation of that error for 3 different files but only this one persists. I've tried Safe Mode, "Clean Boot", turn off all non-MS services, used cmd to run:


reagentc /boottore

I even used cmd's "takeown", "icacls" and "attrib" commands successfully after having trouble with them too.


Like I said, I don't care about the file or that game, I just want to use the rest of the System Restore. The BEST solution would be it I could skip those problematic files and have the SR do its job because it's not like it restores everything else, it just stops the process and returns to normal.


I could try re-installing and changing the permissions but I am afraid it may create a new restore point and I do not the luxury of something like that happening since there's no room for any more restore points. I already lost the oldest one I had the third and only have 2 but only 1 is shown at all times.

I don't want another method, I don't want another program to use for backup or whatever, I don't want suggestions. I want to fix this problem.

I am sick and I need a cure. I can not function until I fix this. It already ate an entire day of troubleshooting and it looks like it may take a week. And not I will not give up. There is a solution, I just need to find it. I refuse to move on with my life until I fix this.

Now watch as everything I wrote here gets completely ignored and never being able to fix it.

Windows System Restore failed to replace the file 0x80070780

Hi,

I needed to perform system restore, but it failed with this error:

System Restore failed to replace the file (D:\Users\*******\Dropbox\.dropbox.cache\qebcobkqbgbzfynfuwbof\placeholder.bat) with its original copy from the restore point. An unspecified error occurred during restore. (0x80070780)

It wasn´t neither possible to perform factory reset. So I had to completely reistall the Windows from USB and I've lost lots of days.

I contacted Drobpox about this issue, but they told me that this is a Microsoft Windows error.

I am wondering what to do in order to prevent this issue from happening again. Could you please help me?

There is a lot of people with this error as you can see from this thread: I get an error message that Windows System Restore... - Dropbox Community

Thanks a lot in advance,

AP

What problem(s) are you having that you've attempted a system restore?

 

Error 0x80070780 while trying system restore trough Windows Live CD

HDTune scans finished, here are the results









Both my drives seem OK

Now for sfc/scannow, what's the system reserved partition they are talking about in the link you posted ?
I only have these :



"Data C:" is just files not related to the system "Acer D:" is with all the system files The CD is kyhi's iSO and the "boot X:" I actually don't know but I think you do. What drives should I point to in the sfc /scannow command ?

EDIT : in diskpart, "list volume" command gives two hidden partitions "ESP" and "Recovery" (it does not mention the boot X: partition btw)

EDIT 2 : on the system disk (Acer D: 256GB) there are 3 partitions alongside the primary, which one is the system reserved ?
