How to restore previous laptop settings. How to restore the system

Friends, I have long promised my regular readers to write an article on system recovery. Many of us have already encountered such a situation more than once, when we install a program, make some adjustments to the operating system, accidentally delete service files and do much more, which ultimately leads to incorrect and unstable operation of the OS.

Will I tell you today? What needs to be done to return the operating system to a working state.

Friends, do not forget that there are no hopeless situations.

The algorithm discussed below will be useful to everyone. There is no one who does not make mistakes and always does everything right. As wise people say: "He does not make mistakes, only the one who does nothing." But you should also be able to correct mistakes.

And for everyone who wants to know, if necessary, and undo the last actions on the computer, I wrote a detailed algorithm.

Recovery checkpoint

So Friends, check Point recovery is a copy of the operating system service files, program settings, and the system registry at a specific point in time.

The operating system, as a rule, creates restore checkpoints automatically at regular intervals, in the case of installing any software or at the direct instruction of the user.

It should be noted that when "rolling back" to the operating system restore point, the user's personal files, such as musical compositions, graphic files, documents, etc.

Attention! Returning to a restore point allows you to restore the operating system, but not the user's personal content.

1. Click on the "Start" button at the bottom right of the screen and select "Control Panel". The main window of the Operating Room Control Panel will open. Windows systems 7:

2. Click on the very first section "System and Security" and in the window that opens, select the subsection "Restore the previous state of the computer".

3. In the window that appears, click on the "Start System Restore" button.

4. The system will collect the necessary information and launch the System Restore Wizard. In the first window that appears, you just need to click the "Next" button.

5. Next, the second window of the Wizard will open, where you must select a restore point from the list provided. If you have just made some settings and want to cancel them, then select the topmost specified entry. You can also choose any recovery point entry that suits you.

You can also start “Search for affected programs” by clicking on the corresponding button. The operating system will scan its service records, determine which programs will be removed or restored during the rollback to a restore point, and will present the analysis results in a separate window. After reviewing the list of affected programs, click the Close button.

7. A window will appear on the screen with a warning that it will be impossible to interrupt the system restore. And once again they will ask you to confirm your intentions by clicking the "Yes" button.

After that, the system recovery process will start. Which usually takes a little time - about 2-3 minutes. After which the system will reboot and you will see this window:

The state of your computer has been restored to the specified state. Now you can check the operation of the OS and other programs for the correctness of their work. Be sure to test the result of the system restore.

If the operating system failed to restore the system, then the window will be different. This often happens when antivirus software is running. Disable it and try again.

If you were able to successfully solve the problem “”, then I congratulate you. But in some cases, the restoration of the system did not lead to an improvement in the situation, but, on the contrary, to its deterioration. The system began to freeze, some programs did not load at all, icons on the desktop disappeared, etc. In such a case, it is best to cancel System Restore.

To do this, we go through the whole algorithm, starting from point 1. When you complete step 3, you will see the following window:

Select the item "Undo System Restore" and then everything according to the algorithm presented at the top.

So, Friends, we have considered a rather important question "how to restore the system?"

It should be noted that it is possible to restore the system in this way, but only if there was no serious damage system files, for example, as in the case of a virus infecting the system. In case of serious violations of the operating system, this tool is ineffective and you cannot avoid turning to one of the advanced methods of system recovery.
