If that’s the case, you can try rolling back your system with System Restore. The System Restore<\/strong> is a Windows built-in tool, which, if enabled, creates Restore Points<\/a> of the changes made in the system, Windows registry, files, and device manager, also called snapshots. When the system runs into any error or corruption, the System Restore utility helps it return to an older, error-free configuration.<\/p>
