Restoring a Windows POS system to factory settings can help remove incorrect configurations, unnecessary files, and other issues. So, how can you restore your Windows POS system to its factory settings?
The simplest way is to use the built-in Windows settings to perform a factory reset. Navigate to Start Menu > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Get Started. After choosing whether to keep your files or remove everything, the Windows POS system will begin the factory reset process.
If the Windows POS system cannot start normally, you can force restart the POS system. After repeating it several times, the Windows POS system automatically enters the advanced startup menu. “Troubleshoot > “Reset this PC” > “Keep or delete files”.
If the previous methods don’t work or the system has suffered significant damage, you can restore it using installation media. Prepare a USB drive with the Windows operating system installed, insert the USB into the POS system, restart the system, and press F12 to choose to boot from USB.
Before proceeding with a factory reset, it’s recommended to back up any important data of the Windows POS system to prevent loss during the process. If you have any questions about the steps, feel free to contact us!
