    Windows Fresh Start option


    What are the changes and difficulties that must be dealt with or fixed if Windows Fresh Start is used? What level of PC ability is necessary? I am not computer savvy but my PC seems to have many problems at the same time.

    I have paused Windows updates notably v 2004 until January 11 and an unable to manually install other updates listed in Update Catalog due to the hiatus in updating I guess.


    Is it unwise to even consider the Fresh Start approach to cleanup this PC before resuming Windows automatic updates? It seems the 2004 update is inevitable; if so, is it wiser to resume updates now and try Fresh Start later if update creates more problems? Windows updates are ALWAYS incompletely installed or cause problems!


    I realize I should not be trying to handle these things BUT it is necessary: I have no other resource to do it.


    I use: HP desktop - Windows 10 - OS 18363.1139 - v.1909 - Edge chrome 87.0.664.66 & IE11 browsers.


    I have performed sfc/scannow and DISM RestoreHealth. Results state corrupted files, etc. corrected/fixed.

    :)

    Windows Fresh Start

    What I mean by fresh start is, an option found in Windows Defender Security Center -> Device Performance & Health -> Fresh Star

    • Fresh Start: "Start fresh with a clean up to date installation of Windows. This will keep your personal files and some windows settings, and remove some of your apps."
    I proceeded to check the disk through the mentioned instructions but no error was found. Any idea what might be causing the issue?
