Yeah, I was hoping for more.
Could Safe Mode be an option at this point?
There is nothing to lose by trying it.
But Safe Mode will use the same files from C:\$extend.
I hope I am wrong.
Safe Mode can be reached via the login screen, clicking on the power icon ,choose Restart whilst holding down the Shift key.

I hope I am wrong.
If it uses that same file which is the problem one then, it is of no use to him.
I had this suggestion in the back of my mind but, wanted to see if the normal
procedure would succeed.
His PC is compliant with Windows 11. Is there a tutorial for the reinstall here.
I know Shawn has many but, where and under what name. Never mind, I'll
try my luck at finding it. Thanks for all the help as I wouldn't of been able
to get this far without it.

Safe Mode is to avoid the potential problem that some of the files it needs to replace by restoring them from the restore point are actively in use by some processes running on the system, which could help to explain why it failed to restore.

Yes, my thought exactly but, if it still has the same file that needs a permission
even in safe mode then it will be a waste of time but, if he is willing then, it might
just bear fruit. Will wait for his response.

I was wondering if this could work. I don't have a login screen but then again, I do have taskbar.
Thanks.

IF you have paid programs, do you have their licenses at hand?
Yes and I ran Belarc Advisor recently so know what was loaded before the event.

If you are to get to safe mode, you have to Keep your finger on the Shift key as long as it takes

    Upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 on 22/10/21.
Restore is running NOW from the Safe Mode.

... and failed with same message as before, but much quicker.
I really had no hope there, to be truthful.
It was quicker because it was running with minimum or no HAL

    Upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 on 22/10/21.
So the next step is to download the .iso and do a clean installation.

Remember this will be <PathtoImage\isofile.iso> used below.

Make sure to print or mail yourself the Belarc output for reference as all your files will be wiped out once the installation starts.

Once your download is done you can run the task.
%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe (enter)
Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath <PathtoImage\isofile.iso> (enter)

OK, you can still have that beer as you've done quite a bit of work today
even though it was not physical.

I'll post two tutorials from our beloved @Brink .

You can download the .iso from Microsoft and create disk image


OR



Just follow the instructions and if you have questions then ask before you start.

    Upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 on 22/10/21.
Could you say which way is best for me to be able to download stuff from web to my Win 10 PC.
Then put it on a USB (what size) and use it on the Win 11 PC so that it boots from that USB to do the work.
Is that possible?

Once you have downloaded the ISO you could try am in-place repair install. That will reinstall Windows, but keeps all your files and installed apps.
