Repair, reset, or end Microsoft apps

In Windows 10 you have access to a number of standard Windows apps that are pre-installed. These apps can sometimes cause problems. To solve these problems quickly and appropriately without technical knowledge, Windows introduces standard recovery options for these apps.

These are recovery options such as restoring the application without data loss, completely resetting the application with data loss or terminating the application processes altogether.

This allows you to solve possible problems with one of these apps.
