PS C:\>Get-ComputerRestorePoint
PS C:\>Restore-Computer -RestorePoint 255
PS C:\>Get-ComputerRestorePoint -LastStatus
These commands run a system restore and then check its status.
The first command uses the Get-ComputerRestorePoint cmdlet to get the restore points on the local computer.
The second command uses Restore-Computer to restore the computer to the restore point with sequence number 255.
The third command uses the LastStatus parameter of Get-ComputerRestorePoint cmdlet to check the status of the restore operation. Because the
Restore-Computer command forces a restart, this command would be entered when the computer restarted.
