Windows 10: Question about apps not deleting after system resetting. Win11.

Hey, after encountering several system failures on win11, i decided to reset the windows with "keep my files" option. It warned me about soon to be deleted apps and i agreed, expected them to be deleted after resetting. However, some a alot of my orginal apps are still there their files too with there shortcuts on desktop. Tried some apps to see some work, some didn't. Tried uninstalled the ones couldn't work but the line "something.dll is missing" it did when i tried open the app also. Now if i cant open them nor perform a clean uninstall, what should i do about it? Manual uninstall? Ju

Microsoft Phot App

Hi PaBluOz,

Since the language on your PC is already set to Australian English, then I suggest that you reset your Microsoft Photos app. Note that the app's data will be deleted once you reset it.

To reset the Photos app, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
2. Locate and select Photos from the list of apps.
3. Click Advanced options, then click Reset.

If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please reply to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you and provide you more answers.

Regards.

 

question re: ability to upgrade to Win11

I am interested in updating my current OS (Win10 Home, Version 21H2) to Win11. When I checked through the PC Health Check application, it said I could not because my processor was not adequate. However, when I checked the system information, I find that my processor (AMD Ryzen 1700 Eight-core processor, 3Ghz) is listed on the acceptable systems to run Win11. Everything else is listed as being adequate to run Win11. What am I missing? (Please forgive my lack of depth on this subject.)

How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

Windows 10 64-bit.
When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

Disk Cleanup through (C Properties
Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (C
Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

Any suggestions highly welcome.
