Hold the function key and keep tapping the F11 key on the top row of your keyboard to access the restore options immediately after pressing the start button. In the Restore Options Select Refresh Windows by selecting the middle option troubleshoot. This will allow you to renew your original files and keeps your settings specific to your user account. Programs and Apps removed will be listed for you on the desktop after the process is complete which should take approximately 1-hour not including updates.

Navigate to Update and Recovery by moving mouse pointer over the lower-right edge corner and move pointer up hovering over the gear symbol left-click on Settings. Then, select on "change PC settings" at the bottom.
