If you want to reset your PC, click on “Troubleshoot.”

Your system will reboot, and you’ll get a blue screen that lets you “Choose an option.” These options may vary on my system, I could choose to continue to Windows 10, boot from an external device, turn off the PC, or troubleshoot.

When you arrive at the Recovery screen, click on “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” heading.

Follow the directions for resetting above.

In comparison, the standard reset option lets you choose whether to keep your files, doesn't save any settings, installs the same version of Windows, and lets you choose how to reinstall the OS. To summarize, Fresh Start downloads a fresh copy of the most recent Windows 10 version, keeps your files and some settings, and doesn't leave any manufacturer bloatware, aside from Store apps. The above reset process does not keep any of your settings.

Finally, Fresh Start keeps 'some Windows settings,' but doesn't specify which ones.

The only exceptions are Microsoft Store apps that were installed by the manufacturer, which stay.

Because of this, Fresh Start avoids clutter by removing all non-standard Windows apps, including manufacturer bloatware.

Fresh Start downloads the latest version of Windows 10 from Microsoft, with no option to reinstall from local files.

Fresh Start always keeps your personal files, with no option to remove everything and do a full factory reset.
