Fresh Start: The “Reset your PC” feature in Windows 10 restores your PC to its factory settings. But it also adds all the Windows bloatware. Below we will see the "new" Fresh Start function (it has been hidden since the Windows 10 Creators Update version) and how it can help you get a clean system.
The new Microsoft tool will uninstall all bloatware by installing the Windows system from the beginning.
How does it work;
"Reset this PC" or "Reset this PC" can reset your computer to its factory settings. So Windows contains bloatware and we all know it.
To remove bloatware to date you could use third party software. The new feature of Windows "Fresh Start" makes this process very simple, allowing everyone users to completely reinstall Windows in a few clicks.
Where is the function?
Open the menu Inceptionand find the “Windows Defender Security Center” app.
In the "Device Performance" section on the side, click "Additional Information" In the Fresh Start section, click the "Start" button and follow Microsoft's instructions for reinstalling Windows.
The trap:
Her downside operation Fresh Start είναι ότι θα χάσετε ότι λογισμικό υπάρχει εγκατεστημένο από τον κατασκευαστή στον υπολογιστή σας. Σίγουρα, τα περισσότερα από αυτά είναι σκουπίδια, αλλά υπάρχουν και μερικά σημαντικά προγράμματα οδήγησης (drivers). Φυσικά δεν χάλασε ο κόσμος αφού μπορείτε να κατεβάσετε ξανά τα drivers από την σελίδα of the manufacturer.
It should be mentioned here that many times bloatware to make it more acceptable also contains some useful function. For example, many Dell computers come with 20GB of free Dropbox storage.
If you use iTunes, you will need to re-authorize iTunes on your computer. If you have a key product for Microsoft Office, you'll need to make sure it's stored somewhere. The same goes for any other app that needs an activation key.
Finally, although Windows promises to keep your personal files intact, as always it would be good to get a backup of your files in case something goes wrong.
