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?

 

Windows 10 Fresh Start

Hi thanks for posting your questions here, Let me go and try to help you out. To answer your questions, Windows will allow you to choose what kind of fresh start you want. If you just want to perform a
Reset which will bring back your computer on it's default settings and re install your Windows without you doing it manually, you'll see an option to
Keep My Files or Remove Everything. See the steps below.

"If your PC isn't running well, resetting it might fix the problem. Resetting reinstalls Windows 10, but gives you the option to keep your files. Here are three ways to reset your PC:

• Select the Start Windows logo Start button, then select Settings
  Gear-shaped Settings icon > Update & security
  Circular arrows Sync icon > Recovery. Under
  Reset this PC, select Get started.
• Restart your PC to get to the sign-in screen, then press and hold down the
  Shift key while you select the Power Circle with line Power icon >
  Restart in the lower-right hand corner of the screen. After your computer restarts, select
  Troubleshoot > Reset this PC.
• You can also use installation media to reset your PC. See
  Recovery options in Windows 10 for detailed steps."

You can as well access this link and run the tool below if you want to remove everything and start fresh.

• Start fresh with a clean installation of Windows 10
