Refresh Your Tablet

If you find that your tablet is running slowly or that frequent program glitches are hurting your productivity, you can often solve these problems by resetting your tablet’s system files.

The Refresh Your PC feature reinstalls a fresh copy of Windows 8. It also saves the documents, images, and other files in your user account, some of your settings, and any Windows 8 apps that you have installed. However, Refresh Your PC does not save any other system settings — which are reverted to their defaults — or any desktop programs that you installed, if your tablet supports that feature.
