Microsoft is testing Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery, a Windows Update feature designed to roll back bad drivers with less manual IT work. Whether you accidentally delete a file, make unwanted changes, or experience a technical issue, File History can come to your rescue by allowing you to recover previous versions of your files and folders. If you’re unable to access any of the contact methods associated with your account (and thus unable to receive the security code required to reset your password), skip to “Recover your Microsoft account online” below.

Understanding the Context

With System Restore you can revert your PC's state to a previous point in time. This can be particularly useful when troubleshooting issues caused by recent changes, such as software installations, driver updates, or system settings modifications. Follow these steps to access the online account recovery form: In the Contact email address text box, enter a current email address where we can contact you, and then select Next. To make sure that we have the correct contact email, we’ll send a code to that address and ask you to enter it.
