When you apply a Restore Point, what happens? Microsoft tells you, in a

what really happened? What are all of the changes that were just made to
your system? No one knows, but it's a very safe bet that the RP that you
just restored carried more than one change within it, and not just the
single change that you needed to fix your current issue. That bothers
me.

It's even worse than that! Even if you're not interested to know which
change fixed your problem, SR might - and probably will - fsck up
*something else* which is has no business touching.

You're exactly right. I used to do a lot of PC work for random people
around me, (word of mouth thing), and I hated the ones who came over to
say that they had a problem, they tried SR, it didn't fix the problem
but it introduced an additional problem, so they tried to roll forward
again but SR tells them there are no later RPs available. So then I have
two problems to fix instead of one.

System Restore, just say no!

Preach, brother. :-)
