Such Restore Points are created when the update has installed. If an update
requires a reboot, the Restore Point is created as you're rebooting.
That being said, never, EVER use System Restore to "undo" an update, Service
Pack, or IE upgrade! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or IE
upgrade & reboot. If that doesn't correct the problem, then try System
Restore.
THAT being said, MSE updates cannot be uninstalled AFAIK.
