A restore point is a backup data for restoring the system. Restore points are automatically created at irregular intervals, but you can also create them manually. For example, before installing an application or driver, you can create a backup of a restore point, and if there is a problem, you can restore to that point. 1.

• If the name of the created restore point is displayed in “Description” in the restore point list display box, it has been created successfully.
• The type says “Manual” because I created it manually. The one created automatically is displayed as “System”.

This completes the confirmation of the restore point. Click Cancel to close the screen.

Before restoring the system, save any files you are working on, and exit any applications that are running. 1. Click System Restore on the System Restore settings screen.

If you click “Yes”, the restoration will start immediately and cannot be canceled.
