I was able to get out of trouble with some drivers using SR from safe mode few times in the past. Seems to work much slower than in W7. Problem with MR is that it's a double work, first to make a backup and than to restore, not exactly for every day use and for every little thing which SR should be able to fix. Coupled with having to make a rescue disk/USB after every few updates it may be time consuming.
Wish MS would do something about it and return "Last known configuration" in safe boot menu.
I like to keep system restore going as it does often work to fix small and silly faults in my experience. Maybe only use it once a year but when it works, it is the quickest way back. Don't care about the disk space, even on my SSD.
Of course, I still have my scheduled MR images to fall back on with family pics also up in the cloud and on the disk kept in the safe!
I just used System Restore to save my physical installation of build 14986. Ironically the restore point was created by O&O Shutup! While it worked they system claimed it did not!
Is anyone having problems waking up their computer after an extended time (more than an hour) way?
