Here’s How to Access ‘Fresh Start’ in Windows 10 Following the May 2020 Update

Jun. 19, 2020

However, as it turns out, the Fresh Start option hasn’t completely disappeared from Windows 10. Apparently, it is only hidden from the GUI, but can still be accessed via thePowerShell window. Believed to have been first spotted by Italian blog,HTNovo, Fresh Start can still be activated in Windows 10. It should enable users to perform a clean re-install of the OS by removing all third-party apps while retaining user-data.

If you’ve already updated to the new version and everything is working as expected, that’s great. However, if you’re yet to update, it’s best that you wait a while until the release gets more stable.
