How to: Restore from System Restore Point
This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app or driver, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

   1. In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, and then choose it from the list of results

   2. In the Control Panel search box, type recovery.

   3. Select Recovery > Open System Restore.

   4. In the Restore system files and settings box, select Next.

   5. Select the restore point that you want to use in the list of results, and then select Scan for affected programs.

   **Notes:**

   * If you don’t see the restore point that you want to use, select the Show more restore points check box to see more restore points.

   * If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. Here’s how to check:

        * In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, and then choose it from the list of results.

        * In the Control Panel search box, type recovery.

        *  Select **Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure** and see if the **Turn on system protection** option is selected.

     * If the Turn on system protection option is not selected, system protection isn’t turned on and there aren't any restore points. In this scenario, you won't be able to recovery your PC using a system restore point and will need to use one of the other recovery options listed on this page.

     * If the Turn on system protection option is selected, continue with step 6.

   6. You'll see a list of items that will be deleted if you remove this restore point. If you're OK with the deletions, **select Close > Next > Finish**.
