Computer Networking Solution: Does Restore function restore everything?

All of us know that Windows has RESTORE function. But does it really restore everything. Read below for some info.

To give a simple answer to the question,
Yes, Microsoft system restore sometimes do not "fix" everything.

OK, now a little more detail...
It is designed to only make "restore points" at certain specific times "it thinks" are important AND it then it only protects a VERY limited sub-set of MS stuff that MS uses inside the OS...
Note that making or storing an "MS Restore Point" can be done manually at any time, up to the limitations of "allowed space" it was assigned (or set to...) At that point, it starts to
"get rid of" older restore points.

It is NOT (and was not designed to be) an Image Program that would take a snapshot of the entire computer "as of" a certain point in time and restore the entire HD contents to the condition at that time.

Someone else will likely give good links to WEB sites that can explain this in much greater detail, but for now, if you are "sure" you used a MS Restore Point before the problem first
"happened", I believe you need to "fix" the original problem instead. As John has said, someone on the list will be happy to help with that if we can.

Restore does not always fix a problem. Even worse, sometimes you fix a problem only to have it re-develop from a restore file. A lot of anti-virus and anti-malware programs ask you to disable system restore during the fix process so that you will not become re-infected...
