Add Privacy Badger. These work well for me, judging from the amount of bitching I get from some websites trying to get in. There are some other additions you could try, but see how you go with those. They're free to download and install. All the best.

No one should need to leave their homes to fix their cpu. One needs to be able to fix his cpu at his own convenience.

    If your system files are corrupted, then the cloud reset would be better. But since you have no way of knowing that your system files are corrupted, you should always use the cloud reset.

    I’ve had to do this 3 times in the past 5 months. I’ve had so many problems with my PC that seem unfixable. It’s so annoying. But resetting it fixes just about everything. So every new problem I get and I can’t fix it I just reset it and boom. Fixed. Advanced Technology!!

    I watched the video but I’m still a little unsure and having issues. I’m selling my gaming pc but want to remove my user and keep preinstalled software and apps that the PC first had when I received it such as AMD software, Audio driver, graphics driver, Microsoft visuals, etc. So that way the person I sell to doesn’t have to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything. However, Is resetting then reinstalling everything all over again the only way of doing this? I don’t really have anything important in my files by the way so I don’t care for backing up anything.

    September 2, 2022, this method works! My concern was for some reason i cant manually delete those very big compressed files on my drive d.. I wanna start everything fresh. Like its new. And im okay with that. I wanna delete those unnecessary files esp in drive d.. I proceeded to delete everything. Clean slate... Just one reminder. On my end, it mentioned about TPS or TPM i think. Just dont change it press ESC as it shows on the screen. U will do some microsoft setup once it restarted. Like your microsoft account password setup., etc., Then... Wallaaa... Once inside windows i checked my storage. All is clean slate. That felt good. Bec for years those big files on my drive d, i dont even know what they are🤣... So yeah, what a relief. Done. Ty

If it is (fried means system files have been compromised or broken) search up how to install windows 10 from a separate device. (ex: booting into windows xp or vista on a old laptop and doing a new installation of windows 10.)
