Use this hidden option to make sure there is always an up-to-date restore point to roll back changes in case of system issues on Windows 10.
On Windows 10, System Restore is a feature that automatically checks for system changes on your device and saves a system state as a "restore point." In the future, if a problem occurs due to a change you made, or after a driver or software update, you can go back to a previous working state using the information from a restore point without causing data loss.
When the feature is enabled supported apps and Windows 10 can create restore points during significant changes happen, and you can even trigger them manually. However, if you accidentally make a change without creating a restore point and there isn't a recent checkpoint created, you may not be able to revert back. Furthermore, if there is only an old restore point, you may end up undoing other system changes.
If you want to make sure there is always a fresh restore point available, it's possible to enable a Windows Defender Antivirus hidden option to automatically create checkpoints every day before its daily scanning.
