Method 1 — Using a system restore point

Windows periodically saves information about programs, system settings, drivers, registry and drivers in system restore points. This occurs before significant changes to the OS, such as installing programs, drivers, or updating the system. You can also create a restore point manually. You can read how to do this in this manual.

It is worth noting that after recovery your data will remain intact, and drivers, programs and updates installed after the recovery point was created will be deleted.

1. Launch the System Properties window (keyboard shortcut Windows + Pause ) and open System Protection .

2. Click the Restore «and then» Next «. In the list of available restore points, select the desired item and click «Next» again.

3. Recheck the selected options, click » Finish » and then «Yes «In the warning window. The recovery process will begin and the computer will restart.

Method 2 — Reset to factory settings

In Windows 10, it is possible to restore the system settings to their original state. In this case, you can do a full reset or save user files.

To use this function, you need to go to the next section: " Computer Settings — Update and security — Recovery — Reset the computer to its original state «and click the» Start «button.

Method 3 — File History

This method is not directly related to system recovery, but in combination with other methods can also be useful.

File History allows you to make automatic and manual backups of your files. You just need to activate this function and specify which folders you want to save. The system will automatically make backups of your documents at a frequency that you can customize. If necessary, you can easily restore the files of the version you need.
