Create restore points
Windows makes a snapshot of your system settings periodically. This allows you to go back before a device or program is installed. This is a good feature to use when you are experiencing a problem with your system. With this feature, you can take your system back before the problem. When you install a program or device, you should make sure a restore point is available and recent.
