Types of recovery

Returning to a previous system condition

Microsoft System Restore periodically takes ’snapshots’ of your system
settings and saves them as restore points. In most cases of hard-to-
resolve software problems, you can return to one of these restore points to
get your system running again.
Windows automatically creates an additional restore point each day, and
also each time you install software or device drivers.

Help: For more information about using Microsoft System Restore,
click Start, then click Help and Support. Type windows system
restore in the Search Help box, then press Enter.

To return to a restore point:

1. Click on Start

>

Control Panel > System and Security > Action

Center, then click on Recovery.

2. Click on Open System Restore, then Next.
3. Click on he restore point you want, click on Next, then Finish. A

confirmation message box appears.

4. Click on Yes. Your system is restored using the restore point you

specified. This process may take several minutes, and may restart your
computer.
