Before backing up my computer, I like to create a new restore point.
But this morning, when typing into the search box "Create a restore
point" or when using the Control Panel/System/System Protection
routes, clicking the final link to get to System Resto nothing
happens. I have tried both warm and cold reboot, and run sfr /scannow,
which found corrupt files "and repaired them all". Any ideas?

Thanks!

Go to System Properties, then System Protection.
OR
Just type restore in the Search box when you click on the Start
button.
If that doesn't do it, at least you didn't waste a lot of time trying.



Thanks, Buffalo,but I realize I might not have made myself exactly clear.
I *can* get into System Resore proper, if I needed to restore. What I
cannot get into is the page that lets you *create* a restore point.
Usually, I get there by typing "restore point" in the search box, and
clicking the link that says "Create a Restore Point"- but that link is
dead. I can also do it by going to Control Panel/System/System Protection
but that link is dead, also. That's my problem, as precisely as I can put
it.

I often use Restore Point Creator:
