No matter how you treat your computer or follow normal security measures (like not installing suspicious programs from unknown sources); In the end, you will notice that Windows slows down, crashes often, or even crashes without being able to do anything.
In this case, you may have no choice but to make the most difficult choice: format the computer. At least, that’s what it was called before, although today Windows already has a function to reset the computer that brings it back to its original state; in other words, a bit like uninstalling and reinstalling the system.
The problem is that it involves a lot of work; Not only can it take a while, but once it’s done, you’ll need to reinstall all your programs and restore the system to your liking, as it was before. So many users don’t care.
What’s New in Windows
The new function that Microsoft has implemented in Windows 11 can be the solution for those cases in which we want to repair the system, but w ithout losing everything we have. was discovered by Neowin
The new function is called “Fix problems with Windows Update”, and as its name suggests, instead of deleting the system and reinstalling it from scratch, it will reinstall Windows by obtaining the latest files available through the Microsoft update system. The big difference is that this option keeps your installed programs and games, as well as your saved files; it even retains our settings. So when you are done with the process, everything should be exactly as before, but with the updated and clean “software”.
The new option will appear if we enter Settings, System and the “Recovery” section; although at the moment most users cannot use it. When it appears, it will be possible to press the “Reinstall now” button, and after a confirmation screen, Windows will take care of the rest. The result will be a relatively clean system, with a clean install of Windows 11; This alone may be enough to fix most problems, although the option to completely reset the system from scratch is always available, in case our problems are not solved so easily.
