Windows 10 is a highly robust operating system. However, it may still face issues like a file system corruption that may be caused by several reasons. These include power loss, unsafe removal of a drive, or system crash.
System Restore is a process that is opted to restore the file system to a previous snapshot and thus, prevent data loss. When data corruption or an installation failure occurs, the System Restore command takes the file system to a previously saved state so that you do not need to reinstall the Windows again.
When does System Restore become necessary?
The System Restore command is useful when a computer virus damages your system’s file system. When the file system gets corrupted, you face issues in accessing your files and folders. The System Restore feature reinstates a previous image of the file system. Modern malicious programs like Ransomware block the Safe mode. As a result, you cannot restore your file system from the Control Panel. The only way left is to use the Command Prompt.
How to run the System Restore command using the Command Prompt?
The System Restore command works the same across different Windows versions including Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7. To execute the System Restore using the Command Prompt, follow these steps.
Go to the Start Menu and search for Command Prompt. Launch the App. Alternatively, press the Windows + R key combination. Type ‘cmd’ and hit Enter.
Launch the Command Prompt
Type the command: rstrui.exe
Press Enter to open the System Restore wizard. It must be noted that some versions of Windows may not demand you to add the suffix ‘.exe’ in the command.
Type the command: rstrui.exe and hit Enter
Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate through the System Restore process.
What you must know about rstrui.exe?
The rstrui.exe is located in the folder with path, C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe. This tool is present by default in your Windows operating system. However, you must beware of files with a similar name. Since system restoration is a widely opted task, several malicious programs are being created with a similar name. Thus, if your find any file named rstrui.exe, don’t run it as it can be a computer virus. To prevent fake files, ensure that your anti-virus is updated.

Last year Google rolled out AI features for its Google Photos app, which includes allowing users to search for text within the photos as well as screenshots. The Google Lens feature permits the user to copy the text that appears in the photos and paste that text onto a document or a note also known as OCR. Now in a new development, the search giant is extending this feature for Google Photos on desktop Web browsers. According to a report by 9to5Google the tech major is now making Google Lens available for Google Photos on desktop Web browsers. This will allow users to use the feature to copy the text in the images or screenshots and further paste it into a document or a note file. The functionality used in optical character recognition (OCR) is capable of copying text from any image. The option to copy the text from the image will appear on the left along with other options such as share, edit, zoom and others. Once you find the photo you’re looking for, click the Lens button to easily copy and paste the text. Earlier this feature was available for the mobile-based app version on Android and iOS both, but now the AI-powered Lens camera identifies the context of a picture. The functionality is now widely rolled out to the desktop web inside Google Photos, too. As per the publisher, the AI feature does not help people explore their images and memories. When you open an image including words will show up a “Copy text from image” suggestion chip that features the Lens logo as well as the remove button. Tapping on it will enable the Google Lens with the same analysis animation of pulsating dots appearing over the picture for a brief second. Moreover, you can also “Deselect text” from the top-right corner in order to just highlight specific passages and copy with a floating button over the image.Whereas for the mobile platform, you need to tap on the search bar and type the text that you are searching for. For instance, you are looking for a photo that you took some time ago of a name card. All you have to do is type the name in the search bar.When doing so Google will show up the text found within the image then tap on it. Then you need to tap on the Google lens button placed at the bottom of the screen. Now whatever you have searched will appear in a text highlighted in the photo or the screenshot. Tap on the text that you searched, copy the text and paste it on the document or a note or either on the web browser.

Mozilla Corporation, a free software community, recently announced that its free and open-source web browser, Firefox will cease to support the Amazon Echo Fire TV and the Echo Show devices starting from April 30, 2021.
According to Mozilla Corporation, “If you have Firefox set as your default browser on Echo Show, you will be redirected to Amazon Silk for web browsing starting April 30, 2021″.
Why does Mozilla want to end its support to the Amazon Fire TV?
Mozilla released its support to the Amazon Fire TV in the backdrop of delisting of YouTuube from all Amazon devices in 2017. Google had stated that the decision was based on the “lack of reciprocity.”
At the time, a spokesperson of Google had said, “Amazon doesn’t carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn’t make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest’s latest products.”
Why does Mozilla want to end its support to the Amazon Fire TV?
As soon as YouTube was pulled down from all Amazon devices, the users began to stream YouTube videos through the Mozilla Firefox browser. However, in 2019, YouTube was brought back to the Fire TV. This led to the decline in the usage of Firefox as the users can directly access YouTube.
What changes will be observed by the Amazon Fire TV users?
Several users of the Amazon Fire TV have received notifications regarding the Firefox browser. According to Amazon, after the end of the support, the Firefox app will be deleted from the Amazon Appstore. As a result, users using the Fire TV will not be able to install Firefox. Moreover, the users no longer receive updates regarding the application.

It must be noted that YouTube is still not available on Echo devices. After the Mozilla Firefox ceases to exist on the Echo devices, the users will have to use the Silk browser to watch content on YouTube. Silk is a web browser designed by Amazon and was released in 2011 on Kindle Fire and Fire Phone. The Fire TV version of the app was launched in 2017. To access the app, users just need to say, “Alexa, open Silk”.

Rumours are rife regarding the upcoming iPhone have started to surface as Apple’s launch event is approaching. In the past eight years, the 2020 launch event was the only one without an iPhone. As a result, the speculations regarding the launch of the iPhone 13 may turn into reality.
What are the rumoured features of the iPhone 13?
Design
The design of the iPhone 13 is rumoured to be like that of its predecessor. Moreover, the company may release the smartphone in the same size variants as the iPhone 12. The notch is a peculiar feature of the iPhone. However, in the upcoming smartphone, we may find a much thinner notch.
Display
Apple iPhone 13 may get an always-on display as we find in the Apple Watch. It may always display the time and the remaining battery percentage, and notifications. The smartphone may feature a 120Hz display that would enhance the scrolling and gaming experiences. The display may be designed with LTPO technology to consume minimum power.
Camera
The zoom feature of the iPhone 12 was a major drawback as compared to other premium smartphones like the Samsung S21 Ultra. The iPhone 12 offers an optical zoom of only 2.5x while the latter provides a zooming capability of up to 100x. The iPhone 12 may get an enhanced zoom feature. Moreover, the company is rumoured to be working on an ultrawide-angle lens with a larger aperture.
Touch ID
Touch ID used to be a renowned feature of the iPhone. However, Apple’s iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max feature the Face ID and not the Touch ID. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 13 may get an under-display touch sensor. This will serve as an alternate ID to the FaceID.

How soon can we expect the iPhone 13 to arrive?
Apple generally launches its iPhones after a week of its announcement. However, the official announcement regarding the upcoming smartphone is yet to come. The launch of iPhones usually takes place in September. Considering that the launch event takes place on a Tuesday or Wednesday, the iPhone 13 may get released around September 15, 2021.
How much will the iPhone 13 cost?
The price of the iPhone 12 starts at ₹ 67,100 for the Mini version and reaches as high as ₹ 139,900 for the Pro Max version. The iPhone 13 is rumoured to be an improvement over its predecessor. It may just come equipped with features that the iPhone 12 lacked like Touch ID, 120Hz display, and enhanced zoom. Since the iPhone 13 is not expected to be a major upgrade, the price range will not vary much.
