To create a restore point
What is a restore point?
A restore point is created automatically, for example when installing a
software driver, and used to restore your computer system files to a previous
state. Even though the restore point is created automatically, it is
recommended to create the restore point manually before installing software
or a software driver on your computer because your computer may become
unstable or slow after installing new software or changing the Windows
settings. If you have created the restore point when the computer is working
normally, use the restore point to restore the system files to the previous
state.
