    How safe is "fresh start"


    I just had troubleshooter examine the health and performance of my PC. It found "hanging or crashing apps and suggested a "fresh start" be done.

    I am concerned when it was explained apps may 'be removed.' Is there a chance that wrong apps might be removed? What happens when an app is removed? Will its files also be removed and what happens after the removal takes place?

    :)

    Unable to Start in Safe Mode Win10


    I understand that as repeating the basic problem. Is that what you mean? I can't tell you why- some sort of corruption- hence all the steps I'm suggesting. Please try each in turn.

    The first are to check for basic forms of corruption and so proceed onwards in order.

    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?
