When i try do this doesnt appears nothing of reset configuration or something like that. Remember im using windows 8 ( not 8.1 )
In the PC Settings window, click on the General category. Scroll down to the bottom of the right pane until you see the setting to “Refresh your PC without affecting your files.” Click on the “Get started” button to kick off the process.
