您(Did)的Windows 计算机是否因为(Windows computer)驱动程序或 Windows 更新错误(faulty driver or Windows Update)而崩溃？您(Did)是否安装了导致您出现问题的应用程序？如果这是您正在处理的问题，那么使用系统还原将您的(System Restore)计算机或设备(computer or device)恢复到以前的工作状态是修复它的第一步。以下是如何使用系统还原(System Restore)及时返回并让您的Windows 计算机或设备(Windows computer or device)重新工作：
注意：(NOTE:)本指南适用于Windows 10、Windows 7 和Windows 8.1。为了成功完成它，您需要使用设置为管理员的用户帐户(user account)。此外，您需要使用本指南中的说明启用系统还原：如何配置(System Restore)系统还原的工作方式(Way System Restore Works)。
步骤 1(Step 1)：启动系统还原向导(System Restore wizard)
如果要启动系统还原(System Restore)并将计算机还原到以前的工作状态，则需要以管理员身份登录并打开控制面板(Control Panel)。
在那里，转到系统和安全(System and Security)，然后单击或点击系统(System)。在“系统(System)”窗口中，单击或点击左侧的“系统保护”链接。("System protection")如果您的用户帐户(user account)不是管理员，此时Windows会要求您输入管理员密码(administrator password)。
系统属性(System Properties)窗口打开，您可以在其中查看计算机上的驱动器以及是否为每个驱动器打开了系统还原(System Restore)。如果您想配置它的工作方式，请阅读并遵循本指南：如何配置系统还原的工作方式(Way System Restore Works)。要将您的计算机恢复到以前的状态，请单击或点击“系统恢复”(System Restore)按钮。
系统还原(System Restore)向导启动。
第 2 步(Step 2)：选择您要使用的系统还原点
阅读显示的有关系统还原(System Restore)如何工作的信息，然后单击或点击下一步(Next)。
您将看到到目前为止已创建的可用还原点列表。(restore point)对于每个还原点，(restore point)您都会看到它的创建日期和时间(date and time)、它的描述和它的类型（系统或手册）。如果创建了许多系统还原点(restore point)，则只会显示最新的。如果您想查看所有可用的还原点，请选中(restore point)“显示更多还原点”("Show more restore points")复选框（如果可用）。选择您要使用的还原点(restore point)，如果您想知道哪些程序在使用时会受到影响，请单击或点击“扫描受影响的程序”("Scan for affected programs")。
(Windows)如果您使用选定的还原点， (restore point)Windows需要一些时间来扫描将被删除的程序和驱动程序。这可能需要一两分钟。
扫描完成后，您会看到哪些程序和驱动程序将被删除。受影响的程序和驱动程序列表可能很短，也可能很长，具体取决于您选择的还原点和创建后的活动。(restore point)按关闭(Close)返回上一个窗口。
找到并选择要使用的还原点后，(restore point)单击或点击(click or tap) 下一步(Next)。
第三步(Step 3)：恢复到之前的工作状态
你有最后一次改变主意的机会。如果您确定要继续，请单击或点击“(click or tap) 系统还原”(System Restore)向导中的“完成”。(Finish)在此之前，如果您尚未检查受影响的程序和驱动程序，请单击或点击“扫描受影响的程序”("Scan for affected programs")链接。
系统会要求您确认是否要继续进行恢复。此外，您会被告知，一旦启动，系统还原(System Restore)就不能中断。单击(Click)或点击是。
您的Windows 计算机或设备(Windows computer or device)将重新启动并执行还原。系统还原(system restore)可能需要一些时间，所以不要担心，并且在此过程正在进行时不要做任何事情。
还原结束后，您可以登录Windows。完成此操作后，系统会通知您系统还原(System Restore)已完成其工作。单击(Click)或点击关闭(Close)，您就完成了。
下一步是什么？
我们已要求您在系统还原(System Restore)向导期间检查受影响的程序和驱动程序，因为它们将在您的系统还原后被删除。其中一些应用程序和驱动程序(apps and drivers)可能不是问题的根源，您可能需要重新安装它们。这就是为什么把它们写下来是个好主意，这样你就知道在恢复过程(restoration process)结束后你必须安装什么。因此，下一步是继续使用您的 Windows计算机或设备(computer or device)并安装您需要的应用程序和驱动程序(apps and drivers)，同时避免那些首先给您带来问题的应用程序和驱动程序。如果您有其他有关恢复系统的提示和好的建议，请在下面的评论中告诉我们。
3 Steps to restoring your Windows PC to a working state, with System Restore
Did your Windows сomputеr just crash because оf a faulty driver or Windоws Update? Did you inѕtall an app thаt causes you problems? If this is the kind of trouble you are dealing with, then reѕtoring your computer or device to a previous working state, with System Restore , is the first step in fixing it. Here's how to use System Restore to go back in time and have your Windows computer or device working again:
NOTE: This guide works for Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. In order to complete it successfully, you need to use a user account that's set as administrator. Also, you need to have enabled System Restore previously, using the instructions found in this guide: How to Configure The Way System Restore Works.
Step 1: Start the System Restore wizard
If you want to launch System Restore and restore your computer to a previous working state, you need to log in as an administrator and open the Control Panel.
There, go to System and Security and click or tap System. In the System window, click or tap the "System protection" link on the left. If your user account is not an administrator, at this point, Windows will ask you to enter the administrator password.
The System Properties window is opened, where you can see the drives on your computer and whether System Restore is turned on for each of them. If you want to configure the way it works, read and follow this guide: How to Configure The Way System Restore Works. To restore your computer to a previous state, click or tap the System Restore button.
The System Restore wizard is started.
Step 2: Select the system restore point that you want to use
Read the information displayed about how System Restore works and click or tap Next.
You will see a list of available restore points that have been created so far. For each restore point you are shown the date and time when it was created, its description and its type (system or manual). If many system restore points were created, you are shown only the most recent. If you want to see all the restore points that are available, check the box that says "Show more restore points" , if available. Select the restore point that you want to use and, if you want to know which programs will be affected when using it, click or tap "Scan for affected programs".
Windows takes some time to scan for programs and drivers that will be removed if you are using the selected restore point. This may take a minute or two.
When the scan is done, you are shown what programs and drivers will be deleted. The list of affected programs and drivers, may be short or long, depending on the restore point you have selected and your activity since it was created. Press Close to get back to the previous window.
After you have found and selected the restore point that you want to use, click or tap Next.
Step 3: Perform the restoration to a previous working state
You are given one last chance to change your mind. If you're sure that you want to go ahead, click or tap Finish in the System Restore wizard. Before you do that, if you haven't checked for affected programs and drivers, click or tap the link that says "Scan for affected programs".
You are asked to confirm that you want to go ahead with the restoration. Also, you are informed that, once started, System Restore cannot be interrupted. Click or tap Yes.
Your Windows computer or device is restarted and the restoration is performed. A system restore can take some time, so don't worry and don't do anything while the process is ongoing.
When the restoration is over, you can sign into Windows. After you do that, you are informed that System Restore has completed its work. Click or tap Close and you are done.
What's next?
We've asked you to check for affected programs and drivers during the System Restore wizard because they will be deleted after restoring your system. Some of those apps and drivers might not be the source of your issues and you might need them installed again. That's why, writing them down is a good idea, so that you know what you have to install after the restoration process is over. Therefore, the next step is to resume using your Windows computer or device and installing the apps and drivers that you need, while avoiding those that have caused you problems in the first place.
