If your computer is going through problems and has become unstable, performing a System Restore in Safe Mode should help in getting rid of problems and getting it back to its normal working condition.
Perform System Restore in Safe Mode
The System Restore feature in Windows 10 allows you to create a time stamped backup of System Files, Registry Files and System Settings on your computer.
If your computer is going through problems, you can make use of this saved “System Restore Point” to undo any recent changes, which might be responsible for the problems on your computer.
In many cases, problems on the computer can be fixed by performing a regular System Restore, while you are normally logged into the computer.
In certain cases, you may find it necessary to boot computer in Safe Mode and perform System Restore in Safe Mode.
