Windows has a built-in feature that saves a snapshot of the system at a given moment. If after an update, a new driver, or a tweak something stops working, you can bring the PC back to the exact state it was in before — without losing personal files.
How to create a restore point
Open restore settings
In the Windows search bar, type Create a restore point and select the result that appears.
Select the drive and click "Create"
In the "System Protection" tab, select the main drive (the one where Windows is installed, usually C:), then click Create.
Give it a name and confirm
Write a name that helps you remember the context, like "Before updating drivers" or "Stable system July 2026". Confirm and wait for Windows to complete the process.
How to restore the system
Reopen the restore panel
Search for "Create a restore point" in the search bar again and open the same panel as before.
Click "System Restore"
Select "Choose a different restore point" to see all available options.
Select the point and restore
Choose the point you want to go back to, follow the on-screen instructions and let Windows do its thing. The PC will restart and return to the saved configuration.
Pro tip
Always create a restore point before installing new drivers, major Windows updates, or software that modifies system settings. It takes 30 seconds and can save you hours of debugging.
