Ok so i have an ASUS TUF gaming FX705DT laptop. It has been facing some performance issues and i have found out that those issues are being caused by all the ASUS bloatware that xomes preinstalled with it(apps, services etc.) So if i use the clean install thingy from the 'Reset this PC' menu, and set restore preinstalled apps to 'No', will it remove both the ASUS apps AND THE SERVICES? Or only the apps and NOT the services? Also what happens to the Drivers?

I would just go get the media creation tool and wipe the drive & install a fresh copy of windows (this will still have Windows' bloatware but all the Asus stuff should be gone, if you need any Asus software you can probably download it from their site.)

why no dark mode?

Ok but say if i did not want to use the media creation tool and only the built in reset function, can I do it?

I've never used the built in reset options but I would assume it would restore it to how you got it (so with all the bloatware).
