  3. How to Reset Windows 11

    This article explains how to Reset Windows 11 PC in case it is not working well.

    Reset is a feature in Windows 11, which Reinstalls Windows, allowing you to keep the files or remove them as desired. Resetting is particularly helpful when you have problems with specific Windows components like Windows updates not working, Apps crashing, etc.

    Doing a Reset affects the following things:

    1. Reinstall a fresh copy of Windows.
    2. Reset your customized Settings to default.
    3. Remove/Keep your files depending on which option you select.
    4. Remove the installed applications on your Windows 11 PC.
    A Reset takes 20-25 minutes, depending on the configuration and the option chosen of Cloud Reset or Local Reset.

    There are multiple ways to Reset your Windows 11 PC, and the following steps explain those in Detail:

    How to Reset Windows 11

    If you can start your computer, you can trigger a Reset from the Settings app. See the steps below:

    • Open Start menu>Settings app.

    • Go to System>Recovery options at the end.
    • Under Recovery options, click Reset PC.

    • Select if you want to keep your files or remove the files. Removing the files is helpful if you plan to donate or sell your computer. I am selecting to keep my files in this example.

    • The next step is, how do you want to Reset Windows by downloading the Installation files from the Cloud or do a Local Reset. If you have an Internet connection, I recommend using the Cloud download option. Windows would download a 4GB file to your device and use that to reinstall Windows. A Local reinstall may also help, but for reliability purposes, I strongly suggest using Cloud Download. If you do not have an Internet connection or have limited data, choose Local reinstall.

    • Confirm the Ready to Reset this PC screen and the Recent update screen.

    Reset Windows 11 from Windows Recovery environment

    If your Windows has stopped working, Windows provides an option to Reset Windows 11 PC from the Recovery environment. To do that, you need to force the computer into Windows Recovery and then Reset Windows 11 from there. The process is nearly the same as above.

    Step 1: Trigger the recovery environment:

    • To force Windows into the Recovery environment, Perform a hard shutdown by pressing the power button for 5 seconds when the Windows boot screen appears.
    • Do this twice.

    • On the third time, you would see the Windows Recovery Environment, which would say that your PC has a problem and it could not repair the problem.

    Step 2: Reset Windows 11 from the Windows Recovery environment

    • Click Advanced options.

    • Click Troubleshoot. Select Reset this PC.

    • Select if you want to Keep files or Remove everything.

    • Select Cloud Download or Local Download.
    • Confirm the Reset.
    • The process would start.

    After that, your computer would do the same process as mentioned above.

    These steps can help you Resetting your Windows 11 PC. If a Reset fails, you may have to do a clean install using a USB hard drive, either prepared on another computer or an existing one you have.
