When, in Windows 10, something seems to not work as you would like, it may be because of some setting that you don't remember having changed in the past. We are not specifically talking about errors here, but also about simple features, which for example may have been disabled. For example, one of the most frequent problems with Windows may concern the fact that some files open with the wrong program or that any of the accessibility options, those dedicated to those with disabilities, is active to make the behavior of the desktop strange and folders. In other cases, the use of a program, such as optimization and maintenance, may have changed the settings.
Obviously, then, there are cases of system errors, for example if some application does not open or if the Start menu is empty or busted.
While it is possible to find a solution for almost every Windows 10 problem (we have seen how to use the Windows 10 troubleshooting tools), if you do not want or do not have the skills to tinker among the various Settings menus or of the Control Panel, it is possible to reset to return all the settings of Windows 10 to the initial default values, the default ones as set after the first installation of the system.
