I booted up and get the shown below window error messages. Restore points fail, When trying to get to the system protection I was getting Windows explorer stopped and is restarting. But it let up.
I also get Windows media player has stopped working when trying to play a video. I run a RAID1 array on my OS and it will not let me open it giving the same message. Not even in Safe Mode.
What happened?
Thanks!

The error messages you are encountering on your system indicate that there are issues with various components of your Windows operating system. Here's a breakdown of each problem you mentioned:
- System Restore Points Fail:
- System Restore is a feature in Windows that allows you to revert your system to a previous working state. If your system restore points are failing, it could be due to system file corruption or other underlying issues.
- Windows Explorer is the file manager in Windows. If it repeatedly stops and restarts, it suggests that there might be a problem with the file system, system files, or a conflicting application.

- The error with Windows Media Player could be related to corrupt installation files, conflicting codecs, or other system issues. This error can occur when trying to play videos due to various reasons.
- RAID1 Array Issue:
- RAID1 is a redundant array of independent disks that mirrors data between two disks for redundancy. If you cannot access your RAID1 array even in Safe Mode, it might indicate a hardware failure or compatibility issue. To address these issues, here are some general troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Run System File Checker (SFC): Open an elevated Command Prompt and run
sfc /scannowto check for and repair corrupted system files. - Check Disk Error: Use
chkdsk /fto check for and fix disk errors. - Disable Windows Explorer Add-ons: Some add-ons can cause Windows Explorer crashes. Try disabling them.
- Reinstall Windows Media Player: Uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player to fix any installation issues.
- Check RAID1 Configuration: Ensure your RAID1 array configuration is correct and that both disks are functioning properly.
