Sometimes, this may cause some unexpected errors. System Restore helps you restore the Windows system les to the state prior to the
installation of the software or device driver.
System Restore creates and saves restore points at regular intervals. You use these restore points (or create your own restore points) to
restore your computer’s system les to an earlier state.
Use system restore if changes to software, drivers or other system settingshave left your computer in an undesirable operating state.
