Hi @Sherrilyn1968 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

You can reset your HP computer to an earlier date using System Restore, which allows you to revert your system settings to a previous restore point. Here’s how:

Method 1: Using System Restore (When Windows Starts Normally)

Open System Restore

• Type "Create a restore point" in the Windows search bar and select it.
• Click System Restore under the System Protection tab.

Select a Restore Point

• Click Next, then choose a restore point from the list.
• If available, check "Show more restore points" to see older options.

Confirm & Restore

• Click Next, then Finish to start the restoration process.
• Your computer will restart and revert to the selected restore point.

 

Method 2: Using Advanced Startup (If Windows Won’t Boot)

Restart into Recovery Mode

• Turn off your computer and turn it back on while pressing F11 repeatedly.
• Select Advanced Options > System Restore.

Follow the Restore Process

• Choose a restore point and follow the on-screen instructions.
