Currently, the Windows operating system comes equipped with a built-in system restore function, which is, however, disabled by default. When activated, this function automatically generates snapshots during significant system operations, such as installing updates or software. These snapshots serve as a safety net, allowing users to revert their system to a previous state if needed. Microsoft has recently unveiled a new feature known as 'Point-in-Time Restore'. While this feature bears resemblance to the traditional system restore, it remains ambiguous whether it is an entirely new development or if it leverages some pre-existing functionalities. Judging from the demonstration, it closely mirrors the existing restore capability. Furthermore, Microsoft has also given a sneak peek at the 'Cloud Rebuild' feature. This innovative tool empowers IT teams to remotely reinstall Windows 11 on devices experiencing malfunctions, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free recovery of user data.
