Hello friends, today we will talk about the tutorial Refresh your PC, a feature of the Windows operating system and Windows 8 8.1 Blue allows us to refresh the system or rather to return it to the state it was in immediately after installation, fresh no software installed.
Well if using the Refresh your PC in PC Settings existence we have to have around us a DVD with Windows or 8 8.1 and its help we can only do a Refresh PC will be needed because some files on DVD that the process occur.
Because in Windows 8 and 8.1 there is a small utility called "recimg.exe" that can be used from CMD, we can use it to manipulate how the system will refresh. Basically we will use the small utility "recimg.exe" to generate a custom ".wim" image (windows image) that will contain the desktop applications installed by us and so the operating system will use it to refresh and will no longer be necessary a DVD with Windows 8 or 8.1
The image generated by the "recimg.exe" utility will always be named "CustomRefresh.wim" and if we want to generate more such images we will have to make them in separate folders because the name must remain "CustomRefresh.wim" for its system can use it in case of a refresh.
The "recimg.exe" utility also has some parameters that can be used in CMD:
/ setcurrent - allows you to set as the current image one of the previously generated “CustomRefresh.wim” images, a function that can be used if you have more than one “CustomRefresh.wim” image
/ deregister - causes it to tell the system not to use the "CustomRefresh.wim" image in case of a refresh, useful if we have more "CustomreRefresh.wim" images and we want to use another one instead of the current one.
/ showcurrent - shows us the location of the "CustomRefresh.wim" image, a useful parameter if we have several "CustomRefresh.wim" images and we want to know which one is used and where it is.
What happens after the "Refresh your PC" process?
If you generate a custom image and use a DVD with Windows or 8 8.1 to go through this process, the system will return to the default settings and remove all desktop applications but will not touch the personal files Pictures, Documents, Music. Windows Store apps will remain installed in the system.
If we use "Refresh your PC" but before we generate a custom image, after the process "Refresh your PC" the system will return to the basic settings, we will have Desktop applications installed but they will be reset to the default state, for example the browser will lose settings and bookmarks but will remain installed. The advantage is that you will not have to download and reinstall your favorite applications. In this case, too, the system will not touch the existing files in Music, Pictures, Desktop, Documents. \
In conclusion, "Refresh your PC" is an extremely useful function that can be used when we get infected or when we make all kinds of bizarre settings through applications and we would like them to return to their basic state, as they were when they were I installed.
"Refresh your PC" can be used both from the Desktop interface and if we can no longer access the Desktop interface using a bootable DVD with Windows 8 or Windows 8.1

Hi to the videotutorial.ro team, I know that this is not the video tutorial dedicated to what I will ask, yes I take the risk to ask you the question: I want to buy a motherboard and I am a bit in doubt UEFI and 32Mb AMI UEFI I would like you to tell me which one to choose and what the differences are between them. Thank you
Adrian where I can download an image with Windows and 8.
Pretty please help me, I really need a picture with Windows 8!!
You already have the answer in two tutorials. One about 8.1 preview and a download Windows Download Windows 8 how enterprise. Both tutorials you find on the top right search box.
Yes but I want 8.1 give final version Alui searched the net and found only preview
Where can I download Windows 8.1 final.
you can download from the usenet or I send you by Zippyshare.com
due to the fact that windows 8.1 requires me to activate it every two hours and after two hours it wants to activate through a blue screen I gave up windows 8.1
windows 8.1 does not compare to windows 7 in terms of touch screen maneuvers. windows 7 has several options on the touch screen. windows 8.1 has no aero and looks awful. windows 7 has aero and I use it with pleasure. which is faster between the two systems does not interest me because both run very well only windows 8.1 is very inconvenient for me. I should have seven hands to use windows 8.1 Metro. who likes to use it because it's annoying.
HANDLING want from an operating system to I can buy the eMag 12 million.
You are very right instead if you tell that to someone on the forums or where the "specialists" still meet to see what your ears will hear !!! see god it's good and useful ... it's a bad update and ugly point, all the best!

Cristi, you want to put that widget Random again Tutorial, it's very interesting!
Good tutorial, but I think the simplest is to use the backup and restore software! Aomei way Backup is a free software compatible with Windows 8 can do with the software and a videotutorialtutorial.
Good tutorial.
off topic: Could you do a more complex tutorial on using the Freelancer platform ...? For many I think it would be useful. Thanks!
What will happen with games and programs containing cracks after I refresh this custom? Windows and commercial programs will be licensed or will be active again?
Hello!
It seems that not much older tutorials are watched, because I posted a comment and no response so far, so allow me to repost them here, maybe someone can help me, so I will copy-paste:
Please help me with a problem arising in the system shown in the tutorial- https://videotutorial.ro/configuratie-pentru-jocuri-amd-cu-8-nuclee-si-nvidia-gtx-660-tutorial-video/ . I configured the system as it was presented, I just put a higher source 650 W. goes well, but sometimes hangs on the monitor and the PC does not respond to any command, the only solution to it is to unlock it forced stop. Please tell me what's wrong and how can I fix it? Thank you.
If you have not received an answer means you have not made good question and did not provide details.
A PC can lock in many cases:
1. Ram incompatible.
2. Ram problems.
3. Hard disk problems.
4. Overheating.
5. Windows problems (pirated).
6. Drivers installed properly.
7. Game issues (pirated, poorly ripuit).
8. Components too weak.
9. Motherboard problem (capacitors).
10. Contacts weak slots or food.
11. Source of poor quality which provides voltage specified in solocitare extreme points.
These are just a few reasons but are very many reasons for blocking.
As a friend used to say: "I can't talk like that, it must be seen!"
They solve problems like that of nearby, and you take what I've listed above and see what you can do.
Another time a wine and you with details, we are not magicians.
It was easier to make image with Acronis True Image?
Do you know a picture is compatible with Windows 8 from multiple computers, that is not to install WinXP but every time I upload image made with Acronis?
An image made with Acronis or other backup and recovery software including drivers included. I have not tried but errors may occur!
