Trying to do a system restore to the recommend point and other points that I choose. A long time showing "System restore is starting". After about 15 minutes running in that mode, then I get a "System Restore Failed" Message that also says "The Writer's Time Out Expired Between The Freeze and Thaw Events. 0x800423f2" Have no idea why this is showing up or how I can take it back to one of the previous restore dates. Can anyone help please?

It sounds like there is a problem with the Volume Shadowcopy Service.
I round that on some occasions that attempting to perform a System Restore from within the functioning Operating System can result in various errors.
You may want to try booting from the installation median and attempting to perform a System Restore from the Advanced Trouble Shooting options

The installation media can be obtained through either of these two resources.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench
OR
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Once you have the ISO, you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD or Rufus to burn it to a USB ThumbDrive, either of which you can use to boot your computer.

When you've managed to boot from the installation media you need to click the Repair Your PC link on the second page after the Choose a Language and Keyboard layout page.
That should get you to the Advanced Troubleshooting options.
