Using Command Prompt: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Type rstrui.exe and hit Enter. 5. Using Search: - Click on the Windows Search box next to the Start menu. - Type System Restore and click on it to open. If you're specifically looking to perform a System Restore, any of these methods will take you to the System Restore utility, allowing you to choose a restore point to revert your system back to a previous state.
