The importance of Creating System Restore Point
Nowadays we reach deep down into the moist, exciting bag of PC tips and pull out a tip we didn’t even understand was there. We had overlooked all about our best friend the System Restore Point. It was introduced a few years ago in Windows ME, however it’s likely one of the best–and most overlooked–utility in Windows. A System Restore Point is a snapshot of a whole of your system include registry and system files. It’s very handy if Windows becomes corrupted and no longer works smoothly, but you have to at least be able to boot into safe mode or normal mode to run System Restore.
Typically, a system restore point automatically created whenever a driver is updated, when new programs are installed or when the OS begins after being off for over than a day. Still, Don’t rely upon restore points being automatically created. It’s strongly recommended that users use the System Restore feature to solve common issues with Windows only to find they have no current restore points. So whenever you know your PC is healthy and virus free, do the following:
Make Sure System Restore is Turned On
It’s possible System Restore is turned off. For there to be restore points, we have to make sure it’s running. Right-click on My Computer icon and select Properties. After that click on the System Restore tab. You have to ensure the box isn’t marked to turn off System Restore. Unless you previously turn off it, it should be unchecked.
If you’ve turned on System Restore, go to Start>> All Programs>> Accessories>> System Tools>>System Restore. You’ll see a welcome screen where you will have the choice to restore or to create a restore point. Choose Create a Restore Point and then click on Next. Then, you will be asked for a name of the restore point. Now you’re able to call it whenever you want, then click Create.
A restore point should be made, thus you’re able to revert to it if you ever need to in the future. It’s better to do this regularly such as once a month to ensure it is getting done.
