Every PC user sooner or later is faced with the fact that the operating system begins to produce errors that there is simply no time to deal with. This may occur as a result of the installation of malware, third-party drivers that are not suitable for the system, and the like. In such cases, you can fix all problems by using a restore point.
Let's figure out what a recovery point (TV) is and how you can create it. So, TV is a kind of cast of the OS that stores the state system files at the time of its creation. That is, when using it, the user returns the OS to the state when the TV was made. Unlike a Windows 10 OS backup, the recovery point will not affect user data, since it is not a complete copy, but only contains information about how the system files have changed.
The process of creating a TV and rolling back the OS is as follows:
Setting up System Restore
Operating system rollback
A restore point is created so that if necessary, you can quickly return to it. Moreover, this procedure is possible even in cases where Windows 10 refuses to start. You can find out what methods there are to roll back the OS to a restore point and how each of them is implemented in a separate article on our website; here we present only the simplest option.
- Go to "Control Panel", switch view to "Small Icons" or "Large Icons". Go to section "Recovery".
- Click "Run System Restore"(You will need to have administrator rights to do this).
- Click the button "Further".
- Based on the date when the OS was still working stably, select the appropriate point and click again "Further".
- Confirm your choice by pressing the button "Ready" and wait for the rollback process to complete.
Conclusion
Thus, by creating restore points in a timely manner, if necessary, you can always return Windows performance 10. The tool we considered in this article is quite effective, as it allows you to get rid of all kinds of errors and failures in a short time without using such a radical measure as reinstalling the operating system.
All users of computers and laptops sooner or later encounter problems in the form of errors in the operating system, installation of the wrong drivers, programs, viruses, etc. A lot of time and effort is spent to eliminate them. In fact, to solve most problems, it is enough to use a restore point. A restore point is the result of the process of saving system files. Your system, by default, keeps secrets from you when installing programs and drivers. backups itself (or rather system files). So that if problems arise, you can return to the state when everything was fine and everything was working (the process is also called “rolling back” the system). Thus, the first thing I recommend doing in case of problems with operating system, drivers, viruses - try to restore the system to the restore point that preceded the problem. That is, the problem arose today, use yesterday’s or the day before yesterday’s restore point.
What is written below is relevant not only for Windows 10, but also Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1.

The most common way to restore a system is to use a system restore point. In this article we will talk about how to create a restore point, configure it and how to roll back Windows 10 using the point.
Yes, Windows 10 is a much more reliable system than all its predecessors: we have already forgotten what “ blue screen death,” and the “freezes” that were common just a few years ago happen much less frequently. But still, the world is imperfect, and our computer with Windows on board is even more so.
A special service that monitors the computer and creates checkpoints, thanks to which we can return to an earlier, operational state, if suddenly the computer began to work somehow incorrectly. Of course, we are not talking about hardware failures here, but if we have problems with programs, drivers, computer failures after updating or installation, etc. In all such cases, we will be helped to restore Windows 10 using a previously created checkpoint.
After we roll back to the previous point, we will restore all system files that we had at the time the point was created. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the safety of personal data, documents, photos; this data will not be affected in any way when restoring Windows 10.
Setting up System Restore
Let's move on to the settings. This PC >> Properties >> System Protection. In the "System Protection" tab there are the same buttons for creating restore points, for returning to previous restore points and settings. First of all, you need to pay attention to whether system restore is enabled or not. If you have several disks, then they are most likely disconnected, and system disk usually included. Go to the settings and click on the “Configure” button.
As you can see, after I Windows updates 10 there is not one control point and now I will create it together with you. To create a point, you need to “Enable system protection” and to do this, click the “Configure” button, select “Enable system protection”. Next, move the slider to indicate how much disk space can be used. Click "Apply" >> "Ok".
Click " Create"to create a system restore point and enter a description in the window to make it easier to find the point we need. "Create" again to force the creation of a checkpoint for the operating system parameters.
Check Point Windows recovery 10 was created successfully and now I can roll back the system at any time to just the saved state without losing any important data.
How to restore Windows 10 to a restore point
In order to return the computer to an earlier state, we will use a previously created restore point in Windows 10. Open the already familiar “System Protection” window and click the “Restore” button.
In the window that opens "System Restore" >> "Next". In my case there are two points, but in yours there may be one or more. Usually the last created recovery point is selected; if the last point did not lead to the desired result, then try other recovery points to restore the system. And so, the restore point is selected, click “Next”.
Next, the system warns us that the computer will reboot, so we simply click the “Finish” button and wait for the process to complete. The operation takes place entirely in automatic mode, no action is required from us, we just need to wait until the computer is restarted and a window appears with information about a successful system recovery.
Now we are completely ready to return the computer to a working state using the previously created restore points in Windows 10.
How to delete a restore point
You can also delete previously created restore points in the System Protection settings window. To do this, select the disk, click the "Configure" >> Delete button. Please note that all restore points for the selected drive are deleted.
