From the official Microsoft Recovery options in Windows 10 webpage:
Restore from a system restore point
This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.
Removing updates may include removing updates to the Windows bootloader which in turn can cause Ubuntu's grub bootloader to stop working. If this happens grub can be repaired by following the instructions in How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?).
If you restore back to a system restore point before a major update such as Windows 10 Anniversary Update and the more recent Windows 10 Creators Update, then Windows may try to reinstall the removed major update which can wipe out Linux partitions on MBR disks and also cause Ubuntu's grub bootloader to stop working.
