Run PowerShell as an administrator. At the prompt:
Get-ComputerRestorePoint
This will list all the system restore points.
PowerShell offers four Cmdlets to manage system restore and/or restore points:
Disable-ComputerRestoreEnable-ComputerRestoreGet-ComputerRestorePointRestore-Computer
For assistance with any of them, you can add get-help in front of the Cmdlet, i.e.
get-help Get-ComputerRestorePoint
