The “Reset Your PC” feature in Windows 10 restores your PC to its factory default settings, including all that bloatware your PC manufacturer included. But the new “Fresh Start” feature in Windows 10’s Creators Update makes it much easier to get a clean Windows system.

Does factory reset remove bloatware?

There’s nothing in a factory reset process that could/would/should re-install an . apk file (if it were so, all of the failed OTAs that people used to get for having previously deleted system apps would not have happened).

Will Windows 10 reset remove my programs?

When resetting your PC, you can choose to either keep your personal files or have them removed from your PC. Either way, Windows will remove your installed programs and give you a fresh operating system.
