Hi i have reset my laptop to factory, after reset and completely wiped the drives, it seems to reinstall settings automatically. It installs remote settings and allows everything through my firewall, all events and logs are still on the computer, i do not understand why everything is not wiped.

If you wish to clear everything, please use

 

                  https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

 

During the installation process, do NOT keep files/user data and apps/programs
