If you like to regularly create a restore point in Windows, there are multiple steps. Another option is to add Restore Point to your Context Menu to speed up the process.

A Restore Point will be created automatically for you with only a single click using our Registry files.

Download Add 'Create Restore Point' Context Menu in Windows 10 & 11 from MajorGeeks, and extract the two files.

Double-click on Restore Point Context Menu - Add.reg or Restore Point Context Menu - Remove.reg (Default).

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
Click Yes when prompted by Registry Editor.
Click OK when prompted by the Registry Editor.

Right-click on your Desktop, and click on Create Restore Point. Windows 11 users will need to right-click on the Desktop, then click on Show more options.

You will see a PowerShell window appear briefly. Click Yes for the User Account Control prompt; then, a PowerShell window will appear again briefly for a second time.

The entire process should only take about 10 seconds.
