  3. System Restore Undo

    Under Windows 7 you could create System Restore Points via the Control Panel / System / System Protection. Under Windows 10 you can still do the same by launching the old Control Panel with control.exe. You could also create a desktop shortcut to SystemPropertiesProtection.exe,
