🛡️ Windows 11 Is Getting an Automatic Safety Net
Microsoft is making it easier to recover a Windows 11 PC when something goes wrong.
Starting with Windows 11 version 26H2, Point-in-Time Restore will be enabled by default on eligible PCs. The feature creates local restore points that can return Windows, installed apps and settings to an earlier state.
There’s an important limitation: automatic activation requires the Windows OS volume to be 200 GB or larger. PCs with smaller system volumes can still use the feature if it is enabled manually.
Restore points are kept for up to 72 hours, with new points created automatically.
Windows 11 26H2 is expected to begin rolling out around late September or early October 2026, according to Windows Latest.
