:eyes: Did it actually keep all existing apps? I ask because I've seen a similar feature in the past that said it would keep apps after a fresh install, but only apps downloaded through the Microsoft Store. Which for me works out to... one, maybe two total. It'd be great to do a fresh install without removing all the others!

I believe it does not touch HKLM\SOFTWARE or HKCU\SOFTWARE. But the machine I fixed a couple weeks ago had all the apps from the windows store & third party apps working fine. :shrug: I use macos & debian for my daily drivers.
