Never use system restore Here are some reasons why For me, it took 3 days to complete, reinstalling Windows would only probably take an hour It does not restore everything It can do catastrophic damage if there's a power outage during system restore (Very unlikely) How to avoid it NEVER use UXtheme patcher unless you know the risks involved Be careful of malware online and DO NOT install it DO NOT EVER use it to uninstall software, there's a much quicker way to do that Do not use it as an anti-virus because you already have one
I remember when I installed malware for fun on my old Vista machine and thought that using system restore would fix everything. To be 13 again...
