Security >> System Restore
From this screen, you can adjust how often your system creates system restore points. System Restore Points are very invaluable if you know how they are created. A restore point is automatically created when
  • a piece of software is installed
  • Windows Update installs new updates to Windows
  • the user installs a driver that is not digitally signed by Windows
  • every 24 hours of computer use or 24 hours of time pass
  • when the computer boots after being off for more than 24 hours
  • when the user requests it.

    Knowing when these points are created, in addition to knowing what has been done to the computer prior to it becoming unstable, can let you know which restore point to go back to. This can "undo" the changes that made the system unstable.

    From here you can also tweak the shadow copy settings to change the default (35 percent) amount of disk drive space saved for system restore and shadow copy.
