How to Reset Windows Mixed Reality Home to Default in Windows 10


Mixed reality blends real-world and virtual content into hybrid environments where physical and digital objects coexist and interact.

Windows Mixed Reality is the first spatial operating system. Instead of using a flat screen and a 2D interface, it leverages our instinctual ability to navigate three-dimensional space. Every place has a purpose, and content has context. Just as your PC starts at the desktop interface and your phone begins with a home screen, Windows Mixed Reality starts at the mixed reality home. It's an environment that you can navigate and personalize to make your own. It's the canvas for the thousands of apps available in the Microsoft Store. You can multitask with these apps like you've never been able to before--in 3D where space almost limitless.

You can reset your home as needed to return the apps and content in the Windows Mixed Reality home to the factory default layout.

This tutorial will show you how to reset the Windows Mixed Reality home to the factory default layout for your account in Windows 10.


EXAMPLE: Windows Mixed Reality home






Here's How:

1. Connect your headset to your PC's USB 3.0 port and HDMI out port. Do not put on your headset.

*note It is optional to have the Mixed Reality Portal app open or not.

2. Open Mixed reality icon.

3. Click/tap on Environment on the left side, and click/tap on the Reset my home button on the right side. (see screenshot below)






That's it,
Shawn

Hi,

Yes, you're correct. The Windows Mixed Reality simulator allows you to test mixed reality apps on your PC even if you don't have an immersive headset. If you are experiencing issues with turning on simulation, maybe you haven't set it up yet. Follow the
steps below on how to get started with the Windows Mixed Reality simulator:

• Click on Get started.
• Click on I agree to accept the agreement.
• To proceed through setup, click on Set up for simulation (for developers).
• Click on Set up to confirm your choice.

Once you have set that up, click on the For developers button on the left side of the Mixed Reality Portal, and you should now be able to turn the Simulation toggle switch to
On.

Let us know how it turns out.
