In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to reinstall and update Windows 10 on-demand when your device isn’t working correctly and without losing data. This new feature allows you to reinstall a clean copy of Windows 10 with the latest update without needing to download extra software, while keeping your files, some settings and standard Windows apps. On the Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft is removing the refresh option from the Settings app, and it’s introducing a new refresh tool with the Windows Defender Security Center. However, it required to download a tool from the internet to complete the process, and you still needed to manually install the latest updates afterwards. If you recall, with the Anniversary Update, Windows 10 also introduced a refresh feature to install a clean copy of the most recent version. Although Windows 10 already includes a feature to reset your PC to its factory default settings, you always needed to install updates separately, but now the Creators Update introduces a new way to refresh your device with the latest updates.
You can now reinstall and update Windows 10 on-demand without losing data if your computer is running slow, crashes or is unable to update.
