How to: Avoid Last Known Good Configuration problems

Usually we developers won’t restart our developer machines or laptops regularly. Recently We had a problem with a server which ended up requiring a reboot. Unfortunately the server failed to restart properly and the only option left was to choose last known good configuration. It was reboot long time ago since then there are lots up updates installed which required reboots also. So we won’t restart regularly as possible you may end up loosing lot of changes.

So my sincere advice would be to reboot as regularly as possible, so that if you do ever have to choose last known good configuration then you don't wipe out too many changes.

Check this if I didn't really know what last known good configuration actually meant.
