Why is System Restore taking so long?

Hello, depending on how much file is stored on your hard drive(or SSD), it will take time. More files will take more time. Try waiting at least 6 hours, but if it doesn't change in 6 hours, I suggest you restarting the process. Either the restore process has gone corrupt, or something has failed critically.
