System Restore is a long-standing feature on Windows 11. Its purpose is to create snapshots of the computer's current working state and save them as "restore points" when specific events are triggered, such as installing an update, driver, or app or applying changes to the Registry. If something unexpected occurs, you can use a restore point to revert the system state to resolve the issue without affecting your files or reinstalling the operating system.
The only caveat is that the recovery feature is not enabled by default, meaning you must configure it manually before using it to undo system changes that may prevent your computer's normal operation.
