system recovery
Computer state restoration
System recovery is the process of restoring a computer or device to working order after a failure, crash, or corruption.
This typically involves reverting to a previous stable state, reinstalling the operating system, or retrieving data from backups.
I had to run system recovery after the update bricked my laptop.
Most operating systems include built-in recovery tools accessible at startup.
