    Unsuccessful undo restore


    Yesterday I deleted a program and the folder then emptied recycled bin, I moved a few notepad files from folder to desktop before I deleted. I then reinstalled program and added files to folder. It didnt bring up the files so I did a system restore to 11.13.2020, and now I lost the files I moved from desktop to folder and when I go to Undo system restore it says that it was Successful system restore but it at the same point prior to me undoing system restore and I no longer have access to the "show more restore points". What to do?

    :)

    undo system restore

    Yes in the system restore options there will be an Undo button to go back.

    1. If you boot to advanced startup options from within Windows 10, you must be signed in as an administrator to undo a system restore.

    2. Click/tap on Troubleshoot.

    3. Click/tap on Advanced options.

    4. Click/tap on System Restore.

    5. If you booted to advanced startup options from your Windows 10 installation media, click/tap on your listed Windows 10 OS, and go to step 7 below.

    6. If you booted to advanced startup options from within Windows 10, click/tap on an administrator account you want to provide credentials for.

    A) Enter the password for this administrator account, and click/tap on Continue.

    7. Click/tap on Next.

    8. Select the restore point that has Undo for its "Type", and click/tap on Next.

    See if that helps.

    You couldn't undo both anyway.

    It doesn't matter whether you are using Windows 10, Windows 8, 7 or XP. Here is a list of crucial information that you should be aware of:

    • A data backup is highly necessary before undoing a System Restore.
    • A System Restore cannot be canceled if you did it in Safe Mode.
    • A System Restore cannot be canceled if you did it from System Recovery Options.

    But read all the information there.
