Create a Restore Point

Windows creates restore points automatically at regularly scheduled 
times or before certain programs or drivers are installed. This option 
allows you to create your own restore points when you need to.
1. Click Start  

Control Panel > System and Security > System. Click 

on  System protection in the sidebar and then click the Create...
button. 

2. Enter a description to identify this restore point. 

System Restore

automatically adds the date and time to this name. 

3. To finish, click on Create.

Undo the last restoration

If the system fails after restoring the computer to a certain date, you 
can use this option to undo the restoration. 
Alternately, you can use 

Last Known Good Configuration

 to restore 

the system to your most recent settings that worked.
1. Restart the computer, press F8 to access advanced startup options. 
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration

and press Enter.

Updates

As new viruses, worms, and other threats are discovered every day, 
keeping your security applications and operating system up-to-date is 
crucial. 
To keep your computer safe and reliable:
