    Reset Windows 11 - Windows.old


    Hello,I recently upgraded a PC to Windows 11. After the upgrade I ran cleanmgr and manually deleted windows.old in c:/.Someone else was going to use it. So I did a full Windows 11 reset with the options: Clean the drive/data harder to restore and delete files from all drives.After the clean reset we logged in with his MS account and I saw Windows.old again?It was a backup of my onedrive. The folder structure and files are visible. The OneDrive files that were on the old Windows 11 installation can be opened.A full windows reset remove everything, clean the drive should never create a Windo

    How to reset whole netsh? (Windows 7)

    Was wondering has the commands changed somehow since on Windows XP and on Windows Vista 'NETSH INT RESET ALL' cleaned entire netsh up from top to bottom.

    Now on Windows 7 this same command says no go and only way I can see it is by building .cmd/.bat which does something like:

    Code: netsh winsock reset all netsh int 6to4 reset all netsh int ipv4 reset all netsh int ipv6 reset all netsh int httpstunnel reset all netsh int isatap reset all netsh int portproxy reset all netsh int tcp reset all netsh int teredo reset all[/quote] now the king of the hill of bugs is this doesn't actually do even it's job even after reboot. values setup to are not reset to defaults. (I know I could add more entire list of entries there is, but looking for clean delete/wipe settings & default everything not to dump entire list of resets.)

    So, anyone got a plan B?
