    Reset programs from Windows.old


    Since my Windows 11 didn't work, I have just re-installed it. I am happy that my old files still exist! They are all saved in folder windows.old. So now I have C:\Windows and C:\Windows.old but I don't want to have 2 windows.So now I would like to set everything back to the way it was before. Starting with programs, this is what I have tried:Moved programs from C:\Windows.old\Program Files x86 to C:\Program Files x86 and from C:\Windows.old\Users\me\AppData\Roaming to C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming.Although the programs may work but the stored data in them is missing.

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Programs Not Responding repeatedly even after resetting Windows 10

    My 3-year old Windows 10 Home laptop is repeatedly unresponsive. The open programs will display "Not responding" for 1-2 minutes, then works for a few seconds before the cycle repeats. I've done everything I can think of to try to fix this (full list of what I've done is below) all to no avail.I notice that when this unresponsive state occurs, the "Disk" process in my Task Manager rises to 50%, even though there are just a few processes that are using 0.1 MB/s.I suspect it could be a driver conflict, but I have gone to my Device Manager and don't see any issues flagged. Could anyone suggest what diagnostic steps or diagnostic tools I could use to identify the source of this problem?------------Here is what I have tried:- Shut down my antivirus (Kaspersky)- Shut down Dropbox and OneDrive- Closed my Chrome browser, MS Office programs and all my other programs- Disabled Windows Search- Disabled SuperFetch- Restarted the PC (this takes some 20 minutes when I hit this problem)- Run Chkdsk and repaired drive errors- Reset Windows 10 (fresh install)It worked ok for about a week after I reset Windows 10, but the problem has since returned.
