    Go to previous state after software install


    I want to try a bunch of apps that I have on my new computer.
    Ideally, each time I don't like a certain app, I'd like a way to easily return to a point before the app was installed, instead of just uninstalling.
    Does anyone know how to do this, or of a program that does this?
    Thanks.

    :)

    Unable to go back to previous version after update!!

    Was this an official update presented to you through Zune? What do you see in the Zune software in Settings>phone>Check for updates about restore options?

    Unable to go back to previous version after update!!

    Have you re-installed zune, or windows? could you (or your software) have run any clean up of temporary files? do the restore files exist?

    WOW! Thanks! I was so sure it would require some external party app, I didn't stop to look within WIn10.
    I'll start testing this, in the meantime, If there is a software that can do that easier it would be great!

    I don't think you'll find anything much easier for what you're wanting to do than this feature include with Windows. *Smile
