Last Known Good Configuration

Hi friends,

Just a small scenario to understand what exactly does Last Known Good configuration do.

A user installs an application or does a driver update or a windows update.
He then does a System restore to rollback the system to the restore point created 2 days back. Now, if he does a Last Known Configuration, will the recently installed application be functional or will the recently installed driver / windows update get applied again?

Thanks a lot
Gautam

The Last Known Good configuration will restore the settings to the point when the last time the computer started successfully. Restore points or updates do not affect the Last Known Config unless they were part of the reboot and the PC did not start properly. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307852
