System Restore is a tool included in Windows 10. It monitors changes
to Windows system files and saves system state as a restore point.
If your computer does not work well after installing apps, drivers,
or updates, you can revert your system to a previous restore point.
Note: If you revert your system to a previous restore point, personal
data is not affected.
System Restore creates restore points:
- automatically (when it detects changes to Windows system files)
- at regular intervals (if set up by the user)
- at any time (if initiated manually by the user)
Note: In order for System Restore to create restore points, system
protection must be turned on for the system drive.
