Troubleshooting, First Aid and FAQ
In order to restore a trouble-free operation of your computer you should use the
System Restore function. Please note that this tool only backs up the most impor-
tant Windows settings. Windows itself and any of your private data are not part of
this automatic backup process, so you need to back them up manually.

you can restore the last backed up status with ease.

dure may take a while – depending on the volume of data and the computer's
