The Queen spent Wednesday night in hospital for preliminary medical checks and is now back at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace has said.
The 95-year-old monarch returned from hospital at lunchtime on Thursday and is "in good spirits", the palace added.
The Queen was said to be "disappointed" after cancelling a visit to Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
She was given medical advice to rest for a few days, after a busy schedule of public engagements.
In a statement on Thursday night, Buckingham Palace said: "Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits."
The Queen was seen by specialists at the private King Edward VII's Hospital in central London, about 19 miles (32km) from Windsor. Her admittance is understood not to be related to coronavirus.
The overnight stay was said to be for practical reasons and the Queen was back at her desk undertaking light duties on Thursday afternoon.
The King Edward VII's is a private hospital in London's Marylebone used by senior royals, including the Queen's husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh, who received treatment there earlier this year.
It has been a busy period of official engagements for the Queen.
She was pictured hosting a Global Investment Summit at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening alongside Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
An official record of the Queen's diary showed at least 15 other formal events during October.
On Wednesday, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said the monarch had "reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days".
He said the Queen was "disappointed that she will no longer be able to visit Northern Ireland" - which would have involved an overnight stay.
She is expected to lead a royal delegation to the Glasgow COP26 climate change summit in two weeks' time.
Earlier this week, the Queen declined a magazine's award of Oldie of the Year, saying "you are only as old as you feel".
She "politely but firmly" turned down the award, but sent the Oldie magazine a message with her "warmest best wishes".

Just a preliminary thread for now, but it's worth keeping an eye on, pretty sure this was how it started with Philip...
 
She's forever going to have been queen when the british empire collapsed in front of her and she did nothing.
 
She had a good innings, that's a hefty chunk of history dying there.
I don't think we'll get a good successor to her any time soon.
 
Theory, Prince Charles finally found his Mother's phylactery and destroyed it, releasing the many souls of British peasant's from 1700 till 2022.

Liz Truss has only been Prime Minister one day and she already killed the fucking Queen.
 
Lel Charles is King now, Bongs are fucked.
Pretty sure the fact that they were fucked was completely sealed when the first openly Transgender MP was a Conservative. They should probably just rename themselves as I don't think simply being financially conservative warrants the name.

As a Kenyan, I say fuck the crown.
As a staunch proponent of democracy, I say fuck the monarchy.
That bitch should’ve died a week ago so Keffals’s campaign wouldn’t be trending on Twitter.
 
This is what Josh got the extraordinarily promising phone call about that filled him with unbridled optimism and nobody can convince me otherwise. Another dead on the hands of the Kiwis. :'(
