Restore boundaries

BoosterX tries to make every change reversible. This page lists the boundaries: what is restored by the program’s built-in tools, and what cannot be restored or only from a previously saved copy.

What is restored

• Windows settings (Registry, Services, tasks, components) — through the settings themselves, backup snapshots and rollback profiles.
• Disabled Services and tasks — restoring the startup type and re-enabling.
• BIOS changes — only from the BIOS backup that the tools create when applying; keep it safe.

What is not restored

• Deleted Microsoft Store apps. There is no automatic rollback; the app can be installed again from the Store.
• Deleted Cleanup files. Cleanup deletes data irreversibly — otherwise it would make no sense. Check the list before cleaning.
• Deleted programs. Uninstalling via “Background activity” or uninstaller tools is final; the only way back is reinstalling.
• BIOS changes without a saved copy. If the backup was not saved, rollback is only possible manually in the BIOS/UEFI itself (or Clear CMOS).
• Changes applied by your own tweaks from “My tweaks”. Rollback depends on what you put into the tweak yourself.

How to protect yourself

1. Before a large set of changes — a backup snapshot and a Windows Restore point.
2. Before Cleanup and uninstalling programs — review exactly what is affected.
3. Before BIOS changes — make sure the backup has been created and do not delete it.
4. Start small: apply 2–3 settings, check the system, continue.

A Windows Restore point is created by the program automatically on the first application of changes if system protection is enabled.

A set of settings is not a Windows backup: it stores configuration, not your files. For files, use the built-in backup tools.
