When you have access to the Windows 10 desktop, you can revert changes using these steps:

  1. Open Start.
  2. Search for Create a restore point, and click the top result to open the System Properties page.
  3. Click the System Restore button. Quick note: If the option is grayed out, the system does not have any restore points available.

  1. Click the Next button.
  2. Select the restore point to undo changes and fix problems on Windows 10.

  1. k the Scan for affected programs button to confirm the apps that will be removed because they were added after creating the original restore point.
  2. Click the Close button.
  3. Click the Next button.
  4. Click the Finish button.

Once you complete the steps, System Restore will restore the computer to the previous working state. If one or more apps were affected, remember to reinstall after the process finishes.
