Refreshing Windows tries to delete Non-C Drive Programs and Games

Hi Ethan,

Can you please provide us the steps that you taking when you are refreshing/resetting your Windows 10. It will be very helpful if you can also send a screenshot.

Here are the steps on how to refresh/reset your Windows 10:

• Click the Windows logo (Start button).
• Click Settings.
• Click Update & Security.
• On the left side, click Recovery.
• On the right side, you will see Reset this PC.
• Under Reset this PC, click Get Started.
• Choose between Keep my files or Remove everything.

After choosing between Keep my files or Remove everything, usually, a window will pop-up saying that you have multiple partitions. You can either choose to remove
Only the drive where Windows is installed or All drive. Please inform us if you can see that window. Also, please provide us what drive you installed on your Windows 10.

We also suggest that you back up your programs using an external drive just to be sure that nothing gets lost after refreshing/resetting your computer.

Looking forward to your reply.
