Need to do a restore on Windows 8? It has a feature called “push-button reset” that acts just like previous versions of Windows system restore.
However, if you didn't download the latest updates to your system, you could end up with a brick if you try to do a restore.
Microsoft has identified a problem that makes installing future firmware or driver updates a problem.
Microsoft knowledge base article about the problem says “This issue occurs because a driver or firmware dependency is added to Windows 8.1. After you perform the push-button reset features, the new value cannot be handled correctly.”
A fix for the issue was issued in March. If you haven't been keeping up with your updates, you need to do so asap.
