Windows 10: Start From Fresh

I have, for over a year had problems because of having, somehow, a new user folder created as UserName.MachineName. I tried all of the steps I was advised on 30 October 2017 by, amongst others, Darleen Pen, Donna Men, and by reading similar problems that Vijayj.r had experienced.


Now, again, after defragmenting Drive F, the problems I had before have started again eg I am unable to access my File History except via the File Explorer.


I am not an experienced user. What I would prefer to do is to sacrifice all of my files and user information. (I have downloaded what personal files I wish to keep to disc) and START AGAIN with all of my user and personal files . I am assuming that my System files are OK but I could , if necessary, us System Restore if necessary. This seems to me to be the only answer although I realise I may be naïve about the solutions available.


I know that something is very wrong. My screen is jumping up and down in a very unstable way. Please tell how to start again on this computer. I do not care about my personal files.

Windows Fresh Start

What I mean by fresh start is, an option found in Windows Defender Security Center -> Device Performance & Health -> Fresh Star

• Fresh Start: "Start fresh with a clean up to date installation of Windows. This will keep your personal files and some windows settings, and remove some of your apps."

I proceeded to check the disk through the mentioned instructions but no error was found. Any idea what might be causing the issue?

 

Start fresh

No "start fresh" messages, but the list of favorite sites is different. I don't even know how to make the old list come back. I asked once and was told that is a Microsoft secret.
