What is System Restore Point?

If your Windows 11 computer stops working after you’ve installed a program or an update, you probably wish it had an Undo button. Well, it does, and it’s called System Restore. Talking about this, then every time you install a program, Windows takes a snapshot of your computer’s settings.

Suppose the program causes serious problems like the computer turning off for no reason or getting strange error messages. Then, you should be able to turn the clock back to when the snapshot was made, and everything should work again. It also protects you whenever you install updates, programs, or new hardware.
