how to manage return points and how to unpersonalize windows search function

Hi Alifolie，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



It sounds like you have a couple of issues with your Windows 11 system. Let me address your questions step by step:

1. Managing Return Points:
   
   • Recovery points in Windows are created to provide a way to roll back your system to a previous state in case of issues. To manage recovery points, you can follow these steps:
     
     • Type "Create a recovery drive" in the search bar and open the corresponding system settings.
       
     • From there, you can create a recovery drive or access System Restore to manage existing recovery points.
       
2. Depersonalizing Windows Search:
   
   • To depersonalize the Windows search function, you can try the following steps:
     
     • Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Search and uncheck any options related to personalized results.
       
     • Additionally, you can clear your search history and disable online search suggestions to further depersonalize the search function.
       

On the first question if my understanding is wrong please feel free to ask.

As for managing recovery points saved in your Microsoft account, it's worth noting that Windows backups and recovery points are usually stored locally on your device rather than in your Microsoft account. However, you can use OneDrive for cloud-based file backup and recovery, but it's not directly related to system recovery points.



Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.



Best regards

Microsoft Confirms DirectX 11 to Accompany Windows 7

Microsoft's Ben Basaric, product marketing manager for Windows products, confirmed to PC Games Hardware that the next major update to the DirectX API, DirectX 11 would accompany Windows 7, the next major consumer operating system software by Microsoft. This, overwriting his own statement given to the website earlier that he wasn't sure if DirectX 11 would be ready to ship with the OS upon its launch. Furthermore, he also indicated that Windows Vista will have access to the updated API, although not sure at what point in time.
