Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.

Download wbcache.fra Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying wbcache.fra to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows FRA files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
