Hello, I'm having problems running windows in normal mode after I did a system restore in safe mode. When I try to start up normal mode the welcome screen will show and it'll do the green bar load halfway then say windows could not start up properly

The 1000$ question is, "WHY did you have to do a system restore in Safe Mode, in the first place.
The answer to this, is I think, the key to your present problem.

There are cases, when, for some reason, system restore doesn't want to work in normal mode, but it works perfectly fine in safe mode. Perhaps, some processes running in normal mode are preventing system restore from working correctly.
Running system restore from safe mode is a pretty common advice, if it doesn't want to work in normal mode.

Please see my post 3 I asked the same question - WHY - as post 6. I am sorry, "I did not mean WHY in Safe Mode. I meant WHY a system restore.
The mian point is:
If you simply selected the last restore point, it may NOT have been a System Check Point - restore.
My advice is to run Malwarebytes and if anything is found, refer the matter to the Virus, Malware and Trojan
Forum.

Well, you asked why was it done from the safe mode, but let's try to solve OP issue :)

@ danieljuts
In most cases, system restore will NOT remove an infection. It may help to make your computer bootable, etc., but most likely the infection, or traces of it is still there.

I suggest that you start a new topic in the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal area.

Before you start a new topic click on this link --> Malware and Spyware Cleaning Guide, Please read before starting a new topic. This will give you a few preparations to make, as well as instruction for posting your OTListIt2 log.

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
