Windows 11: Reset PC without losing data in 2024 (2 methods)
If your device isn't working properly, is slower than usual, or you're having issues with battery life or Microsoft Store apps, you may be able to fix these problems by performing a factory reset.
Windows 10 includes the Reset This PC feature, which lets you quickly reset your computer while preserving your files and reinstalling the operating system using the locally available image or downloading a new image from Microsoft's servers. However, this process removes apps and settings, but you can always reconfigure them later.
This guide shows you how to use Reset This PC to refresh your computer and keep your files if you're having problems after a Windows 10 upgrade or because of an app or system misconfiguration. (To reset your device and remove everything, follow these instructions.)
