Windows 11 adds 72-hour rollback for bad updates
Microsoft has introduced a point-in-time restore feature in Windows 11 that lets users revert their PC to a state from up to 72 hours prior if an update causes issues. The tool is designed to provide a quick escape hatch for systems left unstable by faulty patches. It marks a significant improvement over previous rollback options that were more limited in scope.

This is a practical safety net for Windows users, but its real-world value depends on how reliably the restore point captures system state before a problematic update.
