In this post, we will see how to use & create System Restore Point<\/strong>, Restore the computer to a good restore point<\/strong> & Undo the changes System Restore makes<\/strong> in Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. The Windows operating system will create a system restore point automatically periodically by default. Windows also create a system restore point when it detects a major change happening to your system – like when you are installing Windows Updates, Drivers, or at times Software.<\/p>\n

These System Restore Points<\/a> represent a stored state of your computer system files and registry settings. If at any time you feel the need to undo some changes or if your Windows is not working properly, you can restore your system back to a prior ‘good’ restore point.<\/p>\n

System Restore uses a feature called System Protection<\/strong>. It is a Windows feature that regularly creates and saves information about your computer’s system files, registry settings and previous versions of files. System Restore affects Windows system files, installed programs, registry settings, changes to scripts, batch files and other types of executable files – but does not affect personal files.<\/p>\n
