Windows make restore points on its own as you use the computer - every 24hrs and again every 10hrs of actual use, plus other ones that are made if you install programs with the Windows installer (and others) which set their own restore points automatically.

Yes I have a restore point, but I cant get Windows to start up. It will go to the start screen and show F1 or F10 but then nothing happens after I press the buttons.
