As we mentioned in previous publication, some Windows 10 users have noticed that their Fresh Start option was no longer there after the upgrade to Windows 10 2004.
The company introduced Fresh Start in 2016 for the reinstallation of a clean version of the operating system directly from the Settings app. But Fresh Start, as we mentioned, disappeared in the latest Windows 10.
Microsoft recently updated the support page, “Track your device and performance health in Windows Security” (or in Greek “Monitor your device's performance and health in Windows Security”), and explains what happened to Fresh Start.
Σύμφωνα με τις πληροφορίες που δημοσιεύθηκαν εκεί, το Fresh Start ή “Καινούρια αρχή” όπως το αναφέρει η Microsoft στα Ελληνικά δεν έχει αφαιρεθεί από το λειτουργικό system but has moved to another location.
Microsoft is not announcing all the changes when a new version of Windows 10 is released, and apparently the Fresh Start move was one of them.
The company states on the support page (en-US why in Ελληνικά has not been translated yet):
Fresh Start is available for versions of Windows 10 before 2004. For version 2004 onwards, the Fresh Start feature has been moved to Reset this PC.
You must open Fresh Start by following the path: Start - Settings - Update & Security - Recovery - Restore this computer - Start or Home - Settings - Update & Security - Recovery - Reset this PC - Get Started.
Select “Keep my files” when prompted, choose whether you want Windows to be installed from your PC or from the cloud, change the settings and select no when prompted to restore pre-installed apps. Note that the option to restore pre-installed apps only appears if Windows 10 has found installed apps on your device.
The Fresh Start option was moved to Windows 10 Home and Pro. You must have administrator privileges to use this feature
