• How well is System Restore working in Win 7 – not theoretically, but really?

    Posted on September 15, 2016 at 14:21 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Inquiry from DO:

    Can rolling back a System Restore point fix Windows Update problems? Before installing updates, Update says it is ‘creating Restore Point’, but can it be depended upon to fix any subsequent problems (or unwanted changes) the update might cause? I haven’t tried it — the implication is that it can, but my experience with System Restore is it’s not all that dependable. (I’m running Win7/64 SP1, but this would apply to any Windows system I think.)

    Anybody else have some real-world experience?
