Something Broke After Optimizing
Issues after applying optimizations
If you experience problems after using optimizerDuck to apply optimizations, don't panic. There are several ways to revert the changes.
Use System Restore
If you created a restore point before applying changes (as recommended), you can revert your system to its previous state:
- Open the Start menu and search for "Create a restore point"
- Click "System Restore..."
- Select the restore point created before you applied optimizations
- Follow the prompts to complete the restoration
- Your computer will restart automatically
WARNING
Always create a system restore point before applying optimizations. This gives you a safety net to revert any changes.
Toggle off specific optimizations
If you know which optimization caused the issue:
- Open optimizerDuck
- Find the optimization that may have caused the problem
- Toggle it off to revert that specific change
- Restart your computer
