How to restore from System Restore backup in Windows

System Restore is a feature in Windows that allows you to revert your system to a previous state by using restore points. These restore points are snapshots of your system's critical files, registry settings, and installed programs. They are automatically created during system updates or can be manually created when necessary.

Restoring your Windows system from a System Restore backup is useful when your system encounters stability issues, software conflicts, or malware infections. By selecting an appropriate restore point, you can undo recent changes that have affected your system's performance or functionality. The restoration process involves a system restart and should not be interrupted to ensure a successful recovery.

For IT professionals, System Restore is a valuable tool to quickly recover from system issues without affecting personal files. It offers a straightforward way to restore stability and functionality to a Windows environment, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuity in system operations.
