I have had some serious problems using System Restore Points.

What I do every Sunday is create a System Image on an External Hard Drive Seagate 5TB
I only use this for System Image Saves and System image recovery.

It works perfectly.

For me it is the best option to recover my PC without having to do a Re-Set or clean Windows installation

It takes some time to save a System Image and recover a System Image.

The Benefits it takes your PC exactly back to the time when you create a System Image.
You might have to do some software updates
