How to Reset Windows 10 Without Losing Data

[@SAUCE2001]

They need to make this a default option for resetting your computer. I was going to reinstall windows since I just swapped my motherboard + cpu in order to get a clean slate of windows to negate any sort of lingering interactions with the previous hardware. This is gonna save me all the hassle of redownloading everything. *Thank. YOU.*

[@jakesmitty6526]

I tried like 8 other ways to fix my pc and this was the only one that has worked, thank you so much

[@kentgorgonio3305]

After 2 long years of researching on how to fix the problem in my laptop, I finally found this video and it was absolutely helpful! The problem about updating the windows was finally fixed! THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO! GOD BLESS YOU.

Same, my laptop's microsoft store isn't working because of i cant update my windows now im gonna do everything he said i hope this worked btw congrats

[@abdelrahmanmohamedsalah8566]

Sorry but i really need your help, so over the time when i download and install apps some of their files stay on the C drive which by time made it full and made loading process of some apps and games slow, so does this video solve this sort of problem? And is there any way of just formatting the C drive (the one that has the windows)only while keeping the D drive?

[@Azzlack18]

Wow that's a life hack... 10 minutes install completed and all my windows issues fixed and the best part i dont need download all my apps again haha. Thanks a lot!

[@mmvi8927]

so everything was going well i got to the blue screen install thing and logged back into my pc after it finished, but it says we couldn’t install windows 10. the installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during APPLY_IMAGE operation. if you know what to do please help 🙏

[@mmvi8927]

also i clicked troubleshooting tips and looked at the list of error codes. my error code isn’t even on the list??? 😭 0x80070570 - 0x2000C i really dunno what to do

[@TheKingzyOfficial]

@@mmvi8927 The problem can occur due to bad RAM or graphics card incompatibility. If you have multiple RAM sticks, i suggest getting one out and trying to install windows, if problem occurs again, try same thing with other RAM sticks. If that didnt work i suggest disabling your graphics card in BIOS and then connecting your monitor with onboard graphics on the back of your computer.

[@TheKingzyOfficial]

@@mmvi8927 I can guess that you are using USB that has installed windows on it. Error code that you specified means that your system file is corrupted in most cases. Try reinstalling windows on USB and make sure you use stable internet connection to install windows.

[@mmvi8927]

I am still on the fence, I want to, but I also dread the fact something might get wrong while it's still working 7/10 for me now, except some faulty windows settings but can't remember which 3rd party software included those settings for me to change.

My windows 10 computer crashed and it would not allow me to use any of my hard disks. I was forced to delete the drives and reformat them.

Hi, I've had a buggy Win 10 Pro for quite a while now, and all check-ups via Troubleshooter & CMD said all was okay. Then I found your YT & just tried your suggestion, and it did do as you said - but I didn't get the 'Restart' etc, message - it just ended. My doorbell rang, (grrr) so I missed out on seeing any notifications as to why? Odd, but hoping it said something like my Windows didn't need to be refreshed, or was now ok. I suppose I'll soon find out if the Windows errors have been sorted. Thank you for your helpful video. 🙂 👍

I had recently been getting that blue screen every time my pc sleeps when I'm away from my keyboard.

If you have important files, I recommend a flash drive to transfer and store such files just in case. This option should only remove apps, not your personal files.
