Windows system rollback

The method only works if there is a system restore point before the user uninstalled the browser. In such a situation, it is reasonable to use it and roll back the OS to that point in time.

How to roll back entire Windows:

1. Click on the “Search in Windows” button and insert the word “Recovery”.
2. We find the result of the same name from the “Control Panel” and open it.
3. Click on the item “Start System Restore”.
4. In the first window, click on “Next”.
5. We indicate the point with the correct creation time and click on the “Next” button.
6. We start the procedure and wait for it to complete.

The peculiarity of the action is that the Yandex web browser can be returned with all the data. However, other system files and applications are rolled back along with the browser. There is an alternative method that allows you to recreate only the previous state of the web browser without affecting other programs.

How to roll back only the browser from Yandex:

1. Through Explorer, go to the directory C:\Users\PC NAME\AppData\Local\Yandex\ . To display the AppData directory, click on the “View” tab and set the selection in the “Hidden Elements” line.
2. We look for the Yandex Browser folder, right-click on it and select “Restore previous version”.
3. Select a point by name or creation date and click on the “Restore” button.

Important! If the Yandex Browser folder is not in the system, it could have disappeared along with the browser, we find the last existing directory from the specified path in the first step. Most likely it will be Local and we do the same thing, but for the Yandex catalog.

Browser data recovery

One of the best applications for bringing missing and uninstalled files back to life is Recuva. She quite often manages to find and restore information on the disk. However, it is not a universal solution. In some cases, the best results are shown by Puran File Recovery, R.Saver, Disk Drill or other utilities.

How to restore Yandex browser if the user accidentally deleted it:

1. Download the Recuva installation file to your computer. For example, the application is available here.
2. We start the installation procedure.
3. We turn on the program and in the first window click on the “Next” button.
4. Leave the “All Files” item selected and click on “Next”.
5. Check the box next to “In a specific location”, specify the path to the Yandex folder - C:\Users\PC Name\AppData\Local\Yandex\ and click on “Next”.
6. Set a dot in the “Enable deep scan” line, thus enabling deep scanning.
7. We wait for the procedure to complete and look for deleted files in the report.
8. Select all the elements and click on “Recover”.
9. Specify the path to the folder where the data will be saved.
10. In the window that appears, click “Ok”.

If the procedure does not lead to a positive result, it is worth trying other programs. A few of the best apps are listed above.

Important! Deletion can be complete or partial (with transfer to the trash). If the user highlighted the folder and pressed Del, all the data is still in the special storage.

How to extract files:

1. Go to the “Trash” (there is a shortcut on the desktop) and select Yandex browser elements.
2. Right-click on them and activate the “Restore” function.

Via cache

1. Launch the Yandex browser on your computer and enter the code browser://cache into the search bar of your web browser.
2. Then a new tab will open, which will display the entire cache collected by various sites. If there is a page there that you need, then right-click on it and click “ Copy link address ”.
3. Return to the Yandex browser search bar and click on it. Then press the key combination “ Ctrl+V ” to paste the copied link.

Disabling history

In Yandex Browser, there are two methods to prevent the browser from saving your browsing history: activate the “Incognito” mode or change the data in the registry.

Switching to Incognito mode

The first option is suitable if you need to disable history recording, for example, only to work on one site, or you do not want to adjust the registry so as not to damage it. “Incognito” mode is built into Yandex Browser; you can access it by holding the Ctrl + Shift + N combination on your keyboard. After using it, after a few seconds a separate tab will open with a dark design, indicating that you are now in Incognito mode.

History is not saved in Incognito mode

Editing the Registry

If you need to disable history recording no matter what you do and what sites you go to, you will have to follow these steps:

1. Expand the registry editor, called Regedit, in both English and Russian versions of Windows. You can find it using the system search bar.

   Open the regedit program

2. Using the folder tree on the left side of the window, follow the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\YandexBrowser. If some folders are missing, create them yourself. The final section contains files and keys belonging to Yandex Browser. Find (or create) a SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled element among them and set its value to 1 (one).

The default value for this key is 0 (zero), so the history is saved. Changing the setting will cause the browser to stop saving history immediately after it is restarted with the updated value in the registry. If in the future you want to return the browser's permission to handle your Internet browsing, then set the value to 0 again.

Backup file History

You can also create a backup of the History file. To do this, open any folder on your computer and enter the path there: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default .

Then copy the History file to any other location. This way you will save the history that was made up to this time. If you want to restore it, simply move it back to the same directory.

So, we have looked at all the ways to restore history in the Yandex browser. This can be done using synchronization, system restore, using a utility, through a cache or a backup of the History file.

If nothing works out

Usually there are no problems with restoring your browsing history in the browser. If the described methods do not help, you should pay attention to additional options.
