System restore point?

I have a laptop with the operating system Windows 10. Today I downloaded a file where a ransomware (I do not know what that is) is hidden. I then started the reset to a 2-day system restore point. It will be displayed for one hour "Registration will be restored". How long will that take and did I react correctly?

No problem🙂If it should not work overnight (which is unlikely), then start it again. But of course you have to have previously made sure that the automatic power saving mode and is set to "Never"
