How to Do a System Restore of Windows 10
System protection (if turned on) is a feature that allows you to perform a system restore that takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. This can be handy if your PC isn't working well and you recently installed an app, driver, or update.
Each restore point contains the necessary information needed to restore the system to the chosen state. Restore points are automatically generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and generated when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files in your %UserProfile% folder, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was created.
This tutorial will show you how to do a System Restore to restore your Windows 10 back to an earlier point in time.
You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to perform a System Restore.
When you do a System Restore, system protection will automatically create a restore point before proceeding, so you can undo the changes made by the System Restore if needed.
If you do a system restore while in safe mode, it cannot be undone.
If you do a system restore from the System Recovery Options menu, it cannot be undone.
