Automatically Create System Restore Point at Startup in Windows 10  


Hello ma3ino,

Please double check using the screenshots under step 11 to verify if the restore point is listed there.

 

Windows 10 restore points how do I make and use restore points properly?

To create a restore-point in Win10:

• In the task-bar search box ("I'm Cortana...)
  
• type in "Restore"
  
• Popup menu shows "Create a restore point", click to select this
  
• The System Properties dialog box show up - System Protection tab displaying
  
• Make sure the C drive protection setting is ON.
  
• Click on the "Create..." button to create a restore-point. Enter the name of the restore-point and select Create.
  
• Done.
  

To restore to a restore-point (AKA rollback your system)
- Same steps as before.
- Instead of "Create..", select "System Restore..." button
- Select the restore-point you want and restore.

Typically, you should create a restore point before installing any not well-known software, drivers, etc. Any suspicion of malware or ill behaviors (system crashed, slow, etc), you should use the restore-point to rollback the system.
