System-Restore programatically
-
Hi, I want to perform system restore programmatically either using VC++ or powershell. I have tried using '
SystemRestore
' WMI class (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa378925(v=vs.85).aspx[^]) and
Restore-Computer
(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849845.aspx[^]) But both triggers a reboot. Could you please help to find whether there is another option that restores the system without a reboot? Regards, Krishnakumartg

There is no such option. Restoring the system involves replacing system files, which will be in use. The only way to replace them is to reboot.

Is it not possible even if the restore point has has no system files (d:\, e:\ etc)? Regards, Krishnakumar
Unlikely. The files might still be in use, or the state of the system might depend on their contents.
