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.
To return to a restore point:
