  1. Can't fresh start


    Hello,I'm trying to fresh start my laptop, this is not a brand new laptop, BTW.I found it in my storage, and it runs OK, but it has too many apps which would take too long to uninstall manually.I try fresh starting it, but it just gives the following message: There was a problem refreshing your PCNo changes have been made.I've scoured the internet and everything I find just doesn't do anything.....Update assistant doesn't do anything, using an ISO also doesn't do anything.I'm on Windows 10 Home Edition 1803, if possible I want to update it to at least 1809.

    :)

  2. 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?

  3. 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.
