How Do You Fix System Restore For Free After A Virus Locked It?
The “System Restore” function of your operating system is designed to allow you to roll back the settings on your computer to the way they were working prior to a massive system error. “System Restore” can also be used to remove the effects of a virus on your computer. Certain viruses are tricky, and have been known to lock you out of the “System Restore” utility. If this is the case in your scenario, you can fix this issue by running “System Restore” in Windows “Safe Mode.” Restart your computer. Press the “ESC” key to load the Windows “Boot” menu. Select “Start Windows in Safe Mode” to start your Microsoft Windows operating system in “Safe Mode.” This mode will prevent the virus from loading (though the files will still be on your computer), which will allow you to successfully load “System Restore” again. Click “Start.” Click “Programs.” Click “Accessories.” Click “System Tools.” Click “System Restore.” The System Restore utility will now launch successfully on your Windows computer
