Windows Restore Point
Note: La version française sera disponible ultérieurement. Merci pour votre patience! En attendant vous pouvez utiliser la fonction traducteur de Google en haut à droite de votre page.
Windows 10 and previous versions (such as Windows 8, etc.) include a useful feature called Restore point. This feature is often ignored; however, it can help when unexpected issues happen. You will save time and money in many situations:
- Your computer become infected after visiting a malicious website or plugging in an infected USB drive
- Your computer stops working after a Windows update or after a software upgrade
- You have problems after installing a software
To access the System Restore feature(Windows 10 users):
- Type the Windows button from your keyboard and type Control Panel.
- Click on System and Security
- Click on System
- Click on System protection on the left pane (type your admin password if requested).

1) Select the drive that require System Restore
2) Click on the button Configure
3) Enable Turn on System protection
On the same window, you can also adjust the Disk Space Usage
4) Click on Apply button (if you stay in the same window) or click on OK button.
And you are done!
