Use System restore to make restore points when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, 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. To go back to a restore point:
-
Select the Start button, then type control panel in the search box next to the Start button on the taskbar and select Control Panel (Desktop app) from the results.
-
Search Control Panel for Recovery, and select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
-
Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.
