Software Updates and Recovery and System Software Software Recovery Using System Restore System Restore is a Windows operating system feature that enables you to undo harmful changes to your computer software by restoring your software to an earlier time, called a restore point, when your software was functioning optimally. Restore points are restorable, benchmark "snapshots" of your application, driver, and operating system files. The computer sets restore points at regular intervals and may set additional restore points whenever you change your personal settings or add software or hardware. Manually setting additional restore points provides additional protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended that you manually set restore points ■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware. ■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally. Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For example, restoring your system software to an earlier time will not affect documents or emails that you saved after that time. All System Restore procedures are reversible. 8-10 Hardware and Software Guide
