I will recommend you to try disabling all the security software including firewall and anti-virus. And see if the problem persists. If it does not in that case the trouble can be with one of the security software. Errors 0x80042306 frequently take place at what time there is a third party application interfering while performing a System Restore.

To run your system in safe mode, reboot the system and press F8 and select to start your computer in safe mode.
