Select\u00a0<strong>Advanced options<\/strong> under the name of the app, you will find a list of advanced options available to the app your selected. Scroll down towards the bottom you will find a sections called <strong>Reset<\/strong>. Here you can find 1 or 2 buttons available: <em>Repair<\/em> and <em>Reset<\/em>. <em>Repair <\/em>will try to repair your app without affecting the app data, which should be your first choice to try. But this choice might not be available for some apps. <em>Reset<\/em> will basically erase your app and re-install it again, hence your app data will be deleted. This is a choice if <em>Repair<\/em> did not work or not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"849\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/focalx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/apps_reset_windows_10.png\" alt=\"Apps reset screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focalx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/apps_reset_windows_10.png 849w, https:\/\/focalx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/apps_reset_windows_10-300x247.png 300w, https:\/\/focalx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/apps_reset_windows_10-768x633.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Not Available in All Your Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This App Reset option is very handy when you find one of your apps or programs not running properly or even not starting. I used it a couple of times on Microsoft Office App, a suite including Words, Excel, etc., which did not start at all. Using <em>Repair<\/em>, it came back alive right away without loosing any of my document history or account information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not every apps or programs have this <strong>Reset<\/strong> option available.
