Start the System Restore tool at a command prompt
1. Restart your computer, and then press F8 during the initial startup to start your computer in Safe Mode with a command prompt.
2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.

Hello Nussy,
Apologies for the lack of clarity there, I read it after your response and it could easily be taken for needing to start at a command prompt first before going to steps 1 etc.
I will make sure it is posted as How to start the system restore at a command prompt in future.
