System Restore in Windows with a simple command

Η System Restore or System Restore is an excellent πρόγραμμα για να “επαναφέρετε” τα Windows σε μια προηγούμενη κατάσταση, αφαιρώντας οποιεσδήποτε αλλαγές συστήματος που μπορεί να έχουν προκαλέσει κάποιο .

Sometimes, however, the problem can be so severe that doesn't start normally, which means you can't run System Restore from Windows.

System Restore

If you are in this position you can start your system in safe mode to access the command prompt, from where you can run System Restore with a simple command.

The System Restore command is the same for all versions of Windows, so the same command will run equally well on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP:

Open it commands in any of the following ways:

In Windows Search, search for cmd and the black icon of the application will appear,

ή
press the two keys Win + R together and in the box of RUN that will open type cmd.exe and press Enter.

When you open the utility type the following command and then press Enter:

rstrui.exe

In some versions of Windows, you do not need to add the .EXE extension at the end of the command.

The System Restore Wizard will open immediately. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete System Restore.

Be careful with fake rstrui.exe files

As already mentioned, the System Restore tool runs from the executable rstrui.exe. This tool is in the folder:

C: \ Windows \ System32 \ rstrui.exe

If you find another file on your computer called rstrui.exe, it is very likely that it is a malicious program that is trying to deceive you.

Do not use any other program that is supposed to be System Restore. Still looks like the real exe, but you will probably be asked to pay to restore your files or suggest you buy something else.

We should also mention that the fakes of System Restore may use slight misspellings to make you think they are real. For example you might notice some replacement of i with a lowercase L, so the name becomes rstrul.exe, or notice the addition or removal of a letter (eg, the restructi.exe file or the rstri.exe file).
