Use System Restore to make restore points when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update and manually create a restore point. Restoring won’t affect your files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point. 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.
