Windows 10: Windows 10 dilemmas

Hello pals. Have to make clear a few dilemmas that I have these days about my Windows 10 installation that I made. To be more clear about the following text, I'm not a pc expert or sth, I just do the best I know. So I had already Windows 10 installed on my laptop before, but due to large amount of viruses lately I had to make a new install. I reinstalled it three times due to some issues, the first time with the Windows 10 setup that I downloaded two or three years ago when this OS appeared, and it was all great but than few days later appeared some bugs, to be more precise, the PC couldn't start and asked me to restart it again and again until I reinstalled it for a second time with the Refresh Windows Tool, but now it was very slow and the whole interface was a bit different before, I wasn't satisfied at all so I finally made a clean install for a third time again, now with the troubleshoot tool and made a clean install clearing all the drives and deleted permanently everything that had on my pc before. Now it's all great and it's best from all the tree installations that I've made before. So now, I can't explain myself a few things since I'm not an expert, nothing special but just of curiosity:


- All the tree times the same OS was installed on my laptop, Windows 10 pro. Same company same software. The first and the third time the PC was very fast and smooth, but the second time it was very slow. Why and how is that possible?


- The first and the third time the Windows 10 personalization was same as before the installations (orange color). The second time it came blue. Again, how can Windows remember my personalization settings these two times and once not?


- Why is my pc remembering my orange personalization even if I made a clean install? Is it because I logged into my account so the settings are saved there or something else?


- The second time the interface of the software was different, different organization of the taskbar (the clock was not in the right down edge but it came before the notification bar) , darker color of the right click list, different lock screen and stuff they stayed the same even after the new October 2018 update I've made even if some other changes were made. Again, since the same softwere is installed how it can be different?


- And last, after the third installation some old icons that I had on my pc before (after the first installation) appeared out of nowhere now. They came as soon as the One Drive was sync some files into my account and I didn't even asked for that, so I suspect that there is some connection with the One Drive. How the heck these icons appeared just like that? Are there even more in the C or D drives or just the desktop? I really cannot explain this.


So guys that will be all, any info is welcomed. It's nothing serious again but I'm really curios and maybe will collect some more experience for future. Thank you in advance.
