How to restore a laptop to factory settings

Resuming the factory settings of the laptop is needed in many situations. Many problems result from a Windows crash or a clogged system. unnecessary programs.

Almost every laptop (except for completely old models) has a hidden system recovery. In any case, a folder called “Recovery” cannot be deleted.

It stores important information about your system.

Friends, I have long promised to my regular readers to write an article on system recovery. Many of us have already faced this situation when we install some kind of program, make some settings for the operating system, accidentally delete service files and do much more, which ultimately leads to incorrect and unstable functioning of the OS.

Today I will tell? What needs to be done to return the operating system to working condition.

Friends, do not forget that hopeless situations   can not be.

The algorithm discussed below will be useful to everyone. There are no people who are not mistaken and always do everything right. As the wise people say: “He is not mistaken, only he who does nothing.” But you should be able to correct errors.

And for everyone who wants to know, if necessary, and cancel the last actions on the computer, I wrote a detailed algorithm.

Recovery Point

So Friends check Point   Recovery is a copy of the operating system service files, program parameters, and also the system registry at a specific point in time.

The operating system, as a rule, creates automatic restore points at regular intervals, if any software   or as directed by the user.

It should be noted that when “rolling back” to the recovery point of the operating system, the user's personal files such as music, graphic files, documents, etc. are not affected.

Attention! Returning to the restore point allows you to restore the OS, but not the user's personal content.

1. Click on the “Start” button in the lower right part of the screen and select “Control Panel”. The main window of the Control Panel of the Windows 7 operating system opens:


2. Click on the very first section “System and Security” and in the window that opens, select the subsection “Restore the previous state of the computer”.


3. In the window that appears, click on the “Start System Restore” button.


4. The system will collect necessary information   and launches the System Restore Wizard. In the first window that appears, you just need to click the “Next” button.


5. Next, the second window of the Wizard opens, where you need to select a recovery point from the list below. If you have just made some settings and want to cancel them, then select the topmost indicated entry. You can also select any recovery point record that satisfies you.


You can also launch the “Search for affected programs” by clicking on the corresponding button. The operating system will scan its service records, determine which programs will be deleted or restored during the rollback to the restore point, and present the analysis results in a separate window. After reviewing the lists of affected programs, click the “Close” button.


7. A warning window will appear on the screen that it will be impossible to interrupt system recovery. And once again they will ask you to confirm your intentions by clicking the “Yes” button.


After that, the system recovery process starts. Which usually takes a little time - about 2-3 minutes. After which the system will reboot and you will see this window:


Your computer status has been restored to the specified state. Now you can check the operation of the OS and other programs for the correctness of their work. Be sure to test the result of system recovery.

If operating system   failed to restore the system, then the window will be different. This often happens when an antivirus program is running. Unplug it and try again.


If you were able to successfully solve the problem “”, then I congratulate you. But in some cases, the restoration of the system did not lead to an improvement in the situation, but rather to its deterioration. The system began to freeze, some programs do not load at all, icons on the desktop disappeared, etc. In this case, it is best to cancel system recovery.

To do this, we perform the entire algorithm, starting from 1 point. When performing step 3, you will see this window:


Select the “Cancel System Restore” option and then everything according to the algorithm presented at the top.

So, Friends, we considered a rather important question “how to restore the system?”, Learned to “roll back” the system to recovery points and cancel “rollbacks”.

It should be noted that it is possible to restore the system in this way, but only if there were no serious damage to the system files, for example, as in the case of a virus infection of the system. In case of serious malfunctions of the OS this tool   ineffective and you can not avoid resorting to one of the advanced methods of system recovery.
