  1. How to I completely clean reset my computer?


    I want to get rid of all unnecessary files and make my computer be like new but whenever I log into Microsoft after factory resetting, it keeps putting all my files back. How can I stop this from happening so I can be logged into my Microsoft account while still having a clean computer.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond How to I completely clean reset my computer? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
