System Restore is one of those Windows apps that can be categorized as being an "oldie but goldie."

What is System Restore?
System Restore is a system recovery tool that takes snapshots of some of the essential system files and the Windows Registry. Those snapshots are saved as Restore Points, which, in turn, allow you to reverse the changes that were made to your Windows 10 operating system.
System Restore works like an Undo button for the changes that were made to system files and settings, like drivers, registry keys, installed apps, and so on. System Restore doesn't back up and restore documents, pictures, and other personal files on your system. If you want to make a backup of your personal files, you should use File History or a cloud storage service like OneDrive or Dropbox.
When and why is System Restore useful?
System Restore is useful in situations such as:
- When you encounter faulty drivers that destabilize your system
- After installing dodgy desktop apps that have a negative effect on your computing experience
- After installing faulty Windows Updates that crash your computer
Restoring your computer to a previous state with System Restore can often clear up your problems in just a couple of minutes.
What happens when you repair your Windows computer with System Restore?
When you restore your Windows 10 computer or device to a previous state with System Restore, the following things happen:
- All your system settings are restored to what they were when the restore point was created
- All the apps that were installed since the restore point was made are uninstalled
- All the drivers that were installed since the restore point was made are uninstalled
- All the Windows Updates that were installed since the restore point was made are uninstalled
