Question: Does Windows 10 Fresh Start Work?
Contents

The Fresh Start feature basically performs a clean install of Windows 10 while leaving your data intact. More specifically, when you choose Fresh Start, it will find and back up all your data, settings, and native apps. … You will now have to reinstall any applications you regularly use.

Should I use Windows 10 fresh start?

If your Windows computer is loaded with bloatware or your aging device is feeling sluggish, it might be time to use Fresh Start to install a clean copy of Windows 10. Doing so could improve your computer’s startup and shutdown process, memory usage, browsing experience, and battery life.

You can still reinstall Windows and get rid of bloatware, even if you haven’t upgraded to the Creators Update yet. However, Microsoft recommends the Fresh Start tool in the Creators Update as the better option. To get started, open the Settings app from your Start menu.
