Windows System Restore
System Restore is a tool included in Windows. It monitors changes to Windows system files and
saves system state as a restore point. If your computer does not work properly after installing
apps, drivers, or updates, you can revert your system to a previous restore point.
Note:
Reverting your system to a previous restore point does not affect your personal data.
System Restore creates restore points in three cases:
• automatically when it detects changes to Windows system files
• at regular intervals (if set up by the user)
• at any time by the user
