It removes all autistic modifications you made to the system that only resulted in worse performance

It's not, it means that something has gone horribly wrong, Windows is now perma-broken and I have to re-do all the effort of cleaning up the fucking disaster that is stock Windows 10.

If you have to "reset to factory settings" you're better off just nuking it from orbit and clean installing.

You may not think so, but this is what the ideal factory reset computer looks like.

>>58931069
I know that feeling. I just downgraded my desktop from Win10 to Win 7 Pro after having a terrible time with the former for the last year - I forgot how wonderful 7 was.

Glorious Slackware masterrace.

>you have now to reinstall all your shit
Not comfy at all

>>58934488
Depends on if you followed the three golden rules of computing: backup, backup, and backup.

I have all my shit backed up to two separate external HDDs, so when I do a factory reset I can pull back in all the shitty programs I use... to be honest, I don't really find that I use that many, and it's sometimes nice to do the nuclear option to slim them out.

Because it's something you'll never be able to do as a human being.

Imagine that, being born again.
>>
>>58930972
Because you are using Windows.

i just install windows on my ssd,all my gayms and big stuff on my hdd and just reinstall windows without losing anything big

Whatever OP

>>58931582
This.

I guess in OP's defense it feels nice knowing you don't have hidden malware or fucked up system settings anymore.

My last reset was like 6 years ago.

kill yourself

That's how it comes from the factory

This I have an external HDD exclusively to hoard installers.

>>58931069
It's refreshing reading this kind of posts of people actually acknowledging that sometimes shit doesn't work because they didn't make a proper installation. You have faggots left and right saying how much linux sucks and shit doesn't work, people complaining on how bad are osx upgrades and turbo faggots speaking of going back to XP just because they can't fucking manage a clean installation.
>>
>>58936993
stock nuthin is comfy
windows = qttabbar + winaerotweaker + displayfusion at the very least
android = unlock + root + ROM + xposed (fuck off 7.0)
don't remember what i did for linux since im not a faggot, but i remember messing around a ton with X just to get my dual monitor setup working.
