System restore points

[Unknown]

Completely wrong!

Such Restore Points are created when the update has installed. If an
update requires a reboot, the Restore Point is created as you're
rebooting.

That being said, never, EVER use System Restore to "undo" an update,
Service Pack, or IE upgrade! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack,
or IE upgrade & reboot. If that doesn't correct the problem, then try
System Restore.

THAT being said, MSE updates cannot be uninstalled AFAIK.

Thanks, PA Bear! Finally, an answer after lots of irrelevant postings.
So my other question is, is the automatic restore point created BEFORE
the
update? (I'd hope so).

Does MSE update [VIA THE] Windows Update (tunnel)? [Yes.]

updates?
