How to configure system restore for new Windows 11 installation

To configure System Restore for a new Windows 11 installation, you can follow these steps:

1. Enable System Restore:
   • Open the Start menu and search for “Create a restore point”.
   • Click on the top result to open the System Properties page.
   • Under the “Protection Settings” section, select the main “System” drive.
   • Click the “Configure” button.
   • Select the “Turn on system protection” option.
   • Use the “Max Usage” slider to allocate how much space Windows 11 should reserve to store restore points.
   • Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes
2. Create a Restore Point:
   • After enabling System Restore, Windows 11 will automatically create a restore point when applying system updates or when specific system changes are made.

Accessing System Restore

• To access System Restore, you can open the Control Panel and search for “Recovery” to open System Restore and choose a restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update.

It’s important to note that System Restore does not come enabled by default in Windows 11, so it needs to be enabled manually. Once enabled, it can help restore your Windows installation back to its last working state in case of issues or errors.
