Using Windows Refresh for quick and easy recovery
When your computer is not working properly and you need to regain system stability, the Windows
Refresh option allows you to start fresh and keep what is important to you.
IMPORTANT:
Refresh removes any traditional applications that were not originally installed on the
system at the factory.
NOTE:
During Refresh, a list of removed traditional applications will be saved so that you have a
quick way to see what you might need to reinstall. See HP Support Assistant for instructions on
reinstalling traditional applications. To access HP Support Assistant on the Start screen, select the
HP Support Assistant app.
NOTE:
You may be prompted for your permission or password when using Refresh. See HP
Support Assistant for more information. To access HP Support Assistant on the Start screen, select
the HP Support Assistant app.

On the Start screen, point to the far-right upper or lower corner of the screen to display the
charms.
