Enable and Create a System Restore Point








   

 


 Another inexplicable choice in Windows 10 is that System Restore isn't enabled by default; we wouldn't hesitate to turn it on. Search for 'Create a restore point' in the Start Menu and select it in the results, then highlight the system drive, click the Configure button and select Turn on system protection. Use the slider to set an appropriate amount of maximum disk space - about 5GB ought to be enough. Note that, annoyingly, the upgrade to Windows 10 version 10586 turns this off again - you'll need to turn it back on.

 

Windows 10 System Restore 

In 2020, the easiest way to get to the System Restore / System Protection section is by simply pressing the Windows Key and searching for: restore point. Click Create a restore point when it comes up in the search results.

                                                                    
 

 
Once the menu for the System Properties > System Protection menu opens, Click the drive with your System portion (normally C:) and Click  Configure button.

                                                                      
 

 

Next, you may need to turn on the System Restore utility. It’s usually turned off by default on a computer with Windows pre-installed; in that case, the vendor used its own version of backup software.
From here you can also manage the amount of space it uses. If you have a smaller drive, you might want to turn it down a bit.

                                                                                 





 Now that you have everything set up click the Create button and follow the onscreen wizard to create a restore point.

                                                                                 



Microsoft is running Windows 10 as a service, and you will be required to install all Windows Updates. It will do this automatically behind the scenes. An update could cause a problem with your hardware drivers, or conflict with software and make Windows 10 crash.
So, at the very least, make sure to enable System Restore, and Windows will automatically create a restore point before installing the updates. Then you will be able to easily recover your system to a point where it worked before the update caused problems.
