Reinstalling Windows 11 can be a necessary step when you are experiencing system issues that affect performance or stability. This process, while it may seem complicated, can be simple and smooth if you follow the right steps.
There are already ways to perform a clean install of Windows, but what if you just want to fix problems without the hassle of starting over? That’s when the new Windows 11 System Recovery tool comes in handy. Check out How to Perform a Clean Install of Windows 11: Effective Steps to Ensure a Clean and Smooth Installation Experience.
How to Reinstall Windows 11 Using Windows Update Recovery Tool
For the Windows Update Recovery Tool to be available on your system, you will need:
- Windows 11 version 22H2 (or later) with the February 2024 Update (or later) installed.
- A regular Microsoft user account that is not associated with a school or work account.
- Internet connection.
Without further ado, here are the steps to perform a quick reinstall:
- Click the Start menu and type “Recovery” — click the first result. You should now be in
النظام -> إعدادات الاسترداد. - Click the button Reinstall now Next to Fix problems with Windows Update.
- A confirmation box will appear. Click agree To get started. Windows Update will display its progress as it begins downloading and installing the fix files.
- Once this is done, you can click the “Restart Now” button. Your computer may perform some additional updates and restart several times. When this final step is complete, you will be greeted with the usual login screen.
That's all it took. I was able to continue using my computer while the tool did its job, and the reboot part only took me out of service for a coffee break. It was quick and painless with no prompts asking me to reconfigure anything.
Quick reinstall keeps all your files, apps and settings.
The Fix problems with Windows Update tool is different from the Reset this PC option, which reinstalls Windows from scratch using Windows Cloud Download or Local Reinstall. This new recovery tool is also different from a full clean install of Windows 11.
While there are times when other methods may be preferable, “Fix problems with Windows Update” is a more convenient option because it keeps all of your files, apps, and settings. First, you won’t have to spend time searching for and reinstalling motherboard drivers. You also won’t have to redownload all of your apps or recreate the way you organized your tasks with virtual desktops.
Normally, you might want to back up all your important files before a clean install. But with this new recovery tool, you can skip that step too. A quick reinstall is great when you just want to fix problems with Windows 11 but need to get back to your tasks as soon as possible. Now you can see things to remember before starting a clean install of Windows.
