This tutorial talks about how to create a restore point
from Command Prompt in Windows 10.
You might have come across dozens of third-party tools similar to
System Restore Point Creator and Quick Restore Maker which let you
create a system restore point in Windows 10. But, they might get
complicated and time-consuming sometimes as you have to configure
the settings manually. So, what if you can create a restore point in
Windows 10 with a simple command and Command Prompt? Well, that’s
what this tutorial is all about.
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to use Command Prompt
in order to create a system restore point in Windows 10. Creating a
restore point has never been easier, as all you need to do is type a
simple command in Command Prompt and execute it.
How to Create a System Restore Point in Windows 10 with
Command Prompt:
Step 1: Before you go ahead and create a system restore point, you
need to make sure that your System Restore Point is enabled. For
this, type “Create a restore point” in the search bar adjacent to
the Start Menu. After that, open the application and you’ll see a
section named, Protection Settings. In this section, check whether
the protection is enabled or not for your “C” drive. If not, then
click on the drive and select the option “Configure” to enable it.
Step 2: When you’re done enabling the protection
for “C” drive, open Command Prompt with admin access. To do this,
search for “cmd” in the search bar and right-click to choose the
“Run As Administrator” option.
Step 3: Once the Command Prompt is launched with
admin access, simply type or copy-paste the following command in the
command line.
wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore Call
CreateRestorePoint "My Shortcut Restore Point", 100, 7
Step 4: After typing or pasting the command, press
the Enter key to execute the command. As soon as the command is
executed, you’ll see a message “Method Execution Successful” which
indicates that the system restore point is created successfully.
Step 5: If you don’t want to open Command Prompt
each time you want to create a system restore point and type the
command manually, then is a way using which you can create a
shortcut of the same command and execute it by clicking the shortcut
twice.
Step 6: To create the command shortcut, right-click
on your desktop and select New→Shortcut. After that, a window will
appear where it will ask you to type the location of the item. In
the input field, type or paste the following command and hit Next.
Then give the shortcut a name and click Finish to add it on your
desktop.
cmd.exe /k "wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore
Call CreateRestorePoint "My Shortcut Restore Point", 100, 7"
Step 7: After that, right-click on the shortcut and
select Properties. In the Properties window, go to the “Shortcut”
tab and click the “Advanced” button at the bottom. Now, the Advanced
Properties dialog will appear where you need to enable the “Run as
administrator” option.
Step 8: That’s it, you can now simply double-click the shortcut to
execute the command and create a system restore point.
