How to Turn on System Restore in Windows 10 to Protect Against Bad Updates

we have already talked few times about the Microsoft's new outlook to delivering updates for home users in windows 10. Unlike previous versions of the operating system, home users would not be able to prevent updates from being installed on their PC.

While this is probably beneficial for most of the users, it does bring up two major objections: fears about a bad update screwing up your PC and installing updates at times that are not desirable, such as when your are on a metered connection.

Turning the system Restore On

The second objection can be taken care of if you set your wifi connection as metered.  When you are on metered wireless connection, windows 10 may detect it also.

As for the first, there are only two things you can do. One is to make sure you obstacle the Microsoft provided utility that lets you hide bad updates. Although after the fact. In addition, you should make sure to turn on system restore, which many users are finding without any reason disabled by default in windows 10.

Turning system Restore on is very simple and tells windows to create a restore point before any installing updates. That way, if a Bad update bother your system, you can roll it back right away.

Getting to System Protection

The easiest way to get to system protection is via the Cortana/ search box on the task bar. Just type in "system Protection" and at the top of the pop-up panel you have to create a restore point control panel. Click that and the system properties windows appears.

In my case, the protection is already on. If your is not click configure and in the next window, select the radio button that says turn on system protection.

The defaults under disk space usage have to be fine for many users, but if you want to change it just adjust the slider that says max usage. Now click on the apply button then ok, close the system properties windows and you are done.
