Win8 has a simpler recovery method, win8 system built-in "system refresh" & "quo" system reset "reverage components" let us in the Windows 8 system problems Can easily restore to normal state — — official installation, non-toxic no horse without plug-ins.
Small knowledge: What is "system refresh" & "system reset"
System refresh: Win8 will retain personalization settings, personal files, drivers, and applications installed through the Windows Store. Delete other applications and return to the default state. Simply put, the effect is equivalent to the recovery of Ghost backup.
System reset: The system is completely reinstalled, delete all other files of non-system programs, and re-install the new system after execution. The entire reload operation is fully automated and requires no user intervention and operation.
1. Extracting the image file Preparing the system for refreshing
The system refresh and reset by default requires the support of the Win8 installation CD. First, you need to extract the installation image file “install.wim” to the local hard disk for backup preparation.
Download the Win8 installation file (ISO format) placed on the D drive, right click on the ISO file and select “Load” to load it into the virtual drive, then extract the “virtual drive” sourceinstall.wim” to the E drive. . Then start the command prompt as an administrator and enter “reagentc /setosimage /path e: /index 1”, the screen prompts "Operation succeeds" (see Figure 1).

After completing the above operation, enter “ldagentc /info” in the command prompt again to ensure that ““Setup enabled:” is displayed as “1”, and “ Os recovery image:” The path shown is the partition where “install.wim” is located (Figure 2).

2. Be prepared, do a good job of data backup
System refresh and reset operations may cause user data loss, so it is recommended to use Win8's own before performing this operation. ; Create a system image & rdquo; component backup data.
Open the control panel, expand “ Control Panel → All Control Panel Items & Rarr; Restore Windows 7 Backup & rdquo;, then click the "Create System Image" button in the left pane (Figure 3).

Then follow the prompts of the backup wizard to back up the current system partition to other partitions. Assume that the backup target partition is a J drive. After the backup is completed, open the “J:WindowsImageBackup computer name Backup 2011-10-28 171207”, under which you can see something like “fbcde2aa-e79c-11e0-99f1-806e6f6e6963.vhdx” The file (Win8 created is a .vhdx file, as shown in Figure 4).

After completing the above backup, after refreshing or resetting, if you want to extract the backup data, just open the backup directory and select the “.vhdx” file right click to select “ Mount & rdquo; load, then you can open the virtual disk extraction file in the resource manager.
3. Using the system refresh and reset function to restore the system
The system refresh function does not delete the user's personal files, so you can use this function to quickly recover from the system failure and do not want to lose the personal file user. . The system reset function operates similarly (just select different menus). The following is a detailed explanation of the recovery process by taking the system refresh as an example.
Case A: Win8 can enter, there is still a breath
If Win8 can also enter, enter the Win8 system and open the control panel, then expand "Control Panel & Rarr; System and Security & Rarr; File History", and then click In the left pane, “Reaset your PC”. At this point, the recovery interface will pop up. Click the “Get Started” button after clicking “Refresh” to activate the system reset operation (see Figure 5).

In the pop-up operation wizard carefully read the refresh notes, click “next”, the remaining operations follow the on-screen prompts to complete the reboot. After rebooting, the system will automatically enter the system refresh operation. Click the “Ttoubleshoot” button in the graphical startup menu that appears (Figure 6). Then click on the prompt in the window that opens and click “Refresh your PC” to activate the system refresh component (Figure 7). The rest of the operations follow the refresh wizard and click “Next”

After the system refresh is completed, Win8 will automatically restart and enter the system. At this time, our personal files and settings will not be lost, just reinstall The application is ready to use, all system settings have been restored to the default settings, and the original system will automatically be saved in the "c:windows.old" directory. The system reset operation is similar. Just click the corresponding “reset your PC” button, and the remaining operations are completed according to the screen prompt. After the reset is successful, the same as the initial installation of Win8, set the login user name and password, and complete the initial setting. Start using Win8.
Case B: Win8 is ill, can't enter
If the system encounters a serious fault and can't enter the desktop, you can also use Win8's own repair environment to enter the recovery interface.
When starting the computer, when the Win8 graphical startup interface appears, click "Change default or choose other option" in the lower left corner of the screen (Figure 8).

Then in the window that opens, press the prompt to enter the original system administrator account password to log in. After the login is successful, the rest of the operation is the same as “Scenario A”, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation. .
TIPS: For Win7+Win8 dual system, and Win7 is the default startup user (Win8 is the default startup user operation with the same Win8 user), just select Win8 in the multi-boot interface, then press F8, then in Windows Advanced Start the interface menu and select “Repair the computer”, and the rest of the operations are the same as Win8 users.
