    Windows reset: What does it remove?


    Since about 3 months ago I have regular USB-Input devices disconnects/reconnects.

    Most of the time its just the mouse and it reconnects pretty quickly. Other times its every input device and I have to restart windows. Most of the times this happens when playing video games so it might be CPU related since mine's quite slow and old. But then again, this also does happen when not playing any games (e. g. watching youtube).

    But of course buying a whole new motherboard and cpu is quite expensive and just a last resort, so I want to do a complete reset.

    So here's the question: Which files are removed? As I mentioned, I play alot of video games and it would be a shame if all of Steam would be removed. Furthermore I have alot of imporant folders on my desktop. How do I, if at all, save them?

    I have heard that only the C: drive gets reset so this confuses me even more.

    Thanks in advance.
