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.
