Restore point

Updated: 11/12/2024 by Computer Hope

With Microsoft Windows XP and above, a restore point is when the system settings were backed up. These points make restoring Windows to an earlier copy easy and can get the computer working how it was in the past. Restore points can be created manually and automatically created when Windows updates are installed.

Note

A "restore point" is sometimes abbreviated as RP.
