How to Undo a System Restore in Windows 10 [Tutorial]

How to Undo a System Restore in Windows 10 [Tutorial]
System Restore is like a time machine that allows you to undo system changes that may be causing problems, and in this guide, we show you how to use it on Windows 10.
If you have to do a System Restore, but it doesn’t quite go the way you wanted, you can undo system restore. In Windows, it is actually an easy process.
In Windows 7, you can undo a System Restore operation immediately after it’s done: Simply rerun System Restore and choose the Undo option that appears in the System Restore window. The System Restore is undone and your system is re-restored to the way it was before you ran System Restore.
On Windows 10, System Restore is a feature designed to create a snapshot of your device and save its working state as a "restore point" when system changes are detected. In the event of a critical problem after installing an update, driver, or app, or after modifying system settings incorrectly using the Registry or another tool, you can use a restore point to revert your device settings to an earlier point in time to fix the problem without losing your files.
Although this is a handy troubleshooting tool, there's one caveat: For some odd reason, System Restore comes disabled by default, which means that you must enable it before you or Windows 10 can create restore points.
System protection (if turned on) is a feature that allows you to perform a system restore that takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. This can be handy if your PC isn't working well and you recently installed an app, driver, or update.
Each restore point contains the necessary information needed to restore the system to the chosen state. Restore points are automatically generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and generated when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files in your %UserProfile% folder, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was created.
If a system restore didn't have the expected results you wanted, you can undo the restore point to return your system to how it was before doing the system restore.
This tutorial will show you how to undo a system restore to return your system to how it was before doing the system restore in Windows 10.
In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the steps to set up System Restore as well as the steps to recover your device from problems that may be affecting the normal operation.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).
