Although Windows Vista is one of the newest and most stable operating systems, there are times when it starts to malfunction. For example, you installed the program and began to notice that it was after its installation that the OS became unstable. Fortunately, Windows Vista has the ability to restore the operating system settings under which it would have worked normally. To do this, you need to roll back the system to an earlier stable state.
Necessary
Windows Vista computer
Instructions
Step 1
Click "Start" and select "Control Panel". On the control panel in the upper right corner there is a text "View". There is an arrow next to it. Click on this arrow with the left mouse button and select "Large icons" in the menu that appears.
Step 2
Now in Control Panel, find the "Recovery" option. In the menu that appears, click on the "Start System Restore" option. In the next window, you need to select the recovery options. Check the box "Recommended recovery". Click Next. In the next window, click Finish.
Step 3
The system rollback process will begin. During this process, the computer will be locked. It will be impossible to do any other actions on it. A bar will be displayed on the screen to show the progress of the process. After the bar reaches the end of the screen, the computer will restart and start normally.
Step 4
If the computer does not restart automatically, and this can also happen, restart it manually using the button on the system unit. When the PC starts up for the first time after system rollback, a dialog box will appear informing you that the system has been restored successfully.
Step 5
If the computer does not start normally, this does not mean that you cannot roll back the system. You can start the PC in safe mode and restore the system. To do this, turn on the computer and press the F8 key several times continuously. A window will appear in which you can select the options for loading the operating system.
Step 6
Select "Safe Mode". Wait until the computer boots up in this mode. It can take a long time to boot your PC into Safe Mode. When the computer boots up, there will be no picture on the desktop. Instead of the desktop wallpaper, there will be an inscription "Safe Mode" at the top. The subsequent procedure is the same as described above.
