It takes a bit of work but a guaranteed rollback exactly to the state when your computer is working perfectly makes it all worth it. Saves me a ton of headache.

@Maximus Gabriel Well I don't really use system restore points to be honest. I mostly create a restore point after something like a feature update or before I install an update that might possibly ruin my device. But I do actually have one of those multi boot drives. Which I use for installing linux onto my devices. And for recovery purposes. Like one time when I was at school, I had a class where the computers didn't have stuff like group policy on it. And one time after I scanned for some corrupted files. I later tried to boot it up. But it didn't boot up, and before I reimagined my drive (we just go up to a computer, and we boot it up to have it run a disk imaging script that would copy the windows 10 installation from another drive). I tried to fix my system with my multiboot drive. And unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it with my multiboot drive. And I ended up having to reimage my drive, which meant I had to reinstall a ton of programs that I use. But I at least tried to fix it without having to have my drive formatted and reimaged.

The term you where searching for at 5:30 is "copy on write". The entire file system gets a time stamp put on. Each entry in the master file table gets it as well. And when you start to change a file (or even just a block in a file), that timestamp is checked. And if it's the same as the one of the file system, windows knows that this block represents the state in a VSS snapshot. Then windows duplicates the block (keeping the old in the snap shot) and creates a new one for the current file.

System shadow snapshot (also known as VSS ) is amazing technology, but "system restore" is the worst implantation of it. Imagining programs such as Macrium Reflect or Todo Backup make far better use of this technology than Sys restore. VSS is what allows you to make a clone of your C drive while it is still in use. Further more, said clone can be mounted and even used as a virtual drive without affecting any of the data stored in it. It can also be compressed quite drastically as well. This technology is not available on Linux.

Essentially it's a snapshot at the file system level. It has been there since shadow copy was introduced. It could be theoretically used to do backups, which is exactly what that half backed, half deprecated "File history" feature in Windows 10 is supposed to do. However since restore can fail and in typical Microsoft fashion the user doesn't need to know what's happening under the hood, Microsoft themselves suggest using third party programs to achieve the same.

While trying to understand why some people have issues when restoring in both Windows 10 and Windows 11, and complain in my server or in my dms, I've found out 2 possible reasons (not all of them, unfortunately) during my tests: 1) Seems like OneDrive can actually interfere with the restore process. Yes, OneDrive. There is some kind of permissions issue whenever System Restore tries to restore OneDrive, but I still don't know what causes it since it doesn't always happens on every single install. Erasing OneDrive completely from both the OS in the current status and also in the snapshot will fix this particular problem (registry changes not required). Deleting OneDrive from the snapshot was suggested by another tweaker but, in my tests, it worked just fine without erasing OneDrive from the snapshot. 2) When restoring a drive that is encrypted with BitLocker, the restore will fail if allowedinmemorysettings is different than 0x15000075. You can use bcdedit /enum to check the current value and use bcdedit /set allowedinmemorysettings 0x15000075 to restore it. Hope this helps some people having trouble with System Restore.

System Restore saves a lot of hassle when wanting to use something new to customize windows a bit more than M$ allows, only for that then doing something unexpected. Beware that system restore may also irreversibly revert *some* files and not list them in the "scan for affected programs" window. Admittedly, they aren't files a regular user would touch, but modders like myself *live* in INIs.

I was literally watching this video, and since my computer makes a crackling noise when watching KZitem when plugging in the ac cable, I used the restore point I saved earlier, and it only 5 minutes

Windows need something like Mac's Time Machine, Shadow Copy is the closest thing to this, but they need to make it user friendly...

For me this feature never worked for me. Always said that the system was not restored properly.

Great vidros! Yes. Nasty surprise to lose newest user data. Reminds of old fashioned Z:/...Mirror vtg recall processes, but on steroids. Do u recall MS's ad "It finds my lost document!"? Some prefer their cloud bkup vendor. SYSRestore can be restore-pont filensme scrambler hacked. Almost better for those kinds of unsavvy users (there's such a thing as auto-save??) to untrash/history reload.
