Question
You have 100 Windows 8.1 Pro client computers that run. Each computer has a single local hard disk drive, a DVD drive. and an external USB drive. Each computer has a different set of line-of-business (LOB) desktop applications that are installed locally. All of the applications store their configurations in the HKEY_Local_Machine\Software registry hive. You need to design a recovery solution to ensure that you can restore the initial state of the locally installed LOB desktop applications if an application is misconfigured. The solution must preserve the existing locally stored user data. What should you do?

Why each option
To restore Windows 8.1 Pro client computers to a previous configuration state for locally installed LOB applications without affecting user data, you should create and use system restore points.
redmg-exe is not a standard Windows 8.1 command for system recovery or reset, and a system reset typically removes installed applications.
Creating a system restore point captures the state of system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system settings at a specific time. Performing a system restore reverts the system to a previous restore point, specifically addressing application misconfigurations and registry changes without impacting personal user files.
File History is designed to back up and restore personal user files and does not capture or restore system files, installed applications, or registry settings.
Creating a recovery drive and performing a refresh reinstalls Windows and removes desktop applications, which would not preserve the locally installed LOB applications.
