Windows 10 Fresh Start feature quietly moved into Reset this PC
#1
Information 
Quote:n Windows 10 version 2004, Microsoft moved the functionality of the Fresh Start feature into Reset this PC and forgot to tell anyone about it.
 
In prior versions of the operating system, Windows 10 included two features that could be used to reset a PC back to defaults; the Reset this PC and Fresh Start features.
While they both reinstall Windows, there are differences between the two features.
 
Reset this PC would allow you to reinstall Windows and keep or wipe your data, depending on your chosen options. This feature, though, would reinstall any software preinstalled by your device's manufacturer.
The Fresh Start feature would allow you to perform a 'clean' install of Windows 10 that lets you keep your data, but does not reinstall preinstalled software.
 
As we reported earlier this week, it is no longer possible to launch the Fresh Start feature in Windows 10 2004 via the usual methods. While there are ways to run Fresh Start still, when trying to access it via settings, you are brought to a support bulletin on Microsoft's site instead.
