About this tag
Point in time restore on Windows 11 is a full-system rollback feature currently being tested in Insider Experimental builds. It allows users to return a PC to an earlier state within the previous 72 hours using locally stored recovery data. This differs from traditional System Restore by offering a more comprehensive undo capability for system changes. The feature aims to make Windows recovery more straightforward and operational, though it also raises considerations about what changes are reversed. Discussions on WindowsForum.com explore how this experimental feature works, its potential impact on system management, and comparisons to existing recovery tools.
