Restoring your PC is a way to undo recent changes to your PC that might be causing problems. If you think an app, driver, or an update for Windows you recently installed might be causing problems, you might be able to get things running normally again by restoring your PC to an earlier point in time. This is a called a restore point.
Notes:
• Restoring from a restore point won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates that were installed after the restore point was created.
• System restore works for recent changes that were made to your PC more recently—changes in the last 7 to 14 days.
To restore your PC from a restore point
1. In the search box on the taskbar, type restore point, then select Create a restore point from the list of results.
2. In the System Properties box, on the System Protection tab, select System Restore.
3. Select Next > choose the restore point related to the app, driver, or update that might be causing the problem > Next > Finish.
4. Restart your PC and do what you were doing before and see if that makes things better.
If you don’t see any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on.
To turn on system protection
1. In the search box on the taskbar, type restore point, then select Create a restore point from the list of results.
2. In the System Properties box, on the System Protection tab, select Configure.
3. In the Restore Settings area, select Turn on system protection > OK.
