One of the best practises to keep your system stable and trouble-free is creating a manual system restore point before playing with system files or installing a new software. Although many of the programs out there automatically create a system restore point before the installation, the same can’t be said for all programs out there for Windows.

A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer’s system files. You can use a restore point to restore your computer’s system files to an earlier point in time. And the best thing is that when you restore your system to a previous date, Windows doesn’t delete saved files and documents. However, you will lose recently installed programs and settings.
