    repair install needed


    The last two updates trashed my Tablet. System restore is blank, all my set points have disappeared. I need to do a repair install but am wondering what will install. Will I get Windows 10 with the updates I don't want, or some earlier version?

    And this is probably the wrong section to post this problem.

    Hi.
    You can download the latest General Release from MS TechBench and do a repair install with that. It should set things right.

    The current Windows 10 version available for download appears to be build 10586.104. The first Windows Update it gets will be the cumulative update that brings it to the most current build, 10586.164.

    I would prefer a Reset. It worked for me very nice, at least twice.

    information   Information
    If you're having problems with Windows 10 on your PC, you can try to refresh, reset, or restore it. Reset your PC prepares the PC for recycling or for transfer of ownership by reinstalling the OS, removing all user accounts and contents (e.g. data, Classic Windows applications, and Universal Windows apps), and restoring preinstalled customizations to their factory state.
