System Restore by default is turned OFF in Windows 10. Make sure that you turn it on if you intend to use it.

A System Restore either completes or fails. If it fails you get a message to that effect.
There isn't any partial restore of a restore point.

You are correct, strictly speaking,  the restore did fail, but you'd expect from that statement that no changes were made and the system state was the same prior to carrying out a restore.

However, on inspecting the program list and checking the drivers, I have to conclude that the restore partially failed at the point where it was trying to delete and restore the previous versions of the Avast definition files, because the program I installed is missing.
