Difference between Cloud PC Reset and Cloud PC Restart


Restarting a Cloud PC and resetting a Cloud PC are two different things. Restarting a Cloud PC in Windows 365 allows users to reboot their Cloud PC, log in again, and gain access to all of their files. A Cloud PC reset, on the other hand, will reinstall Windows, delete all of your personal files and settings, and uninstall all of your apps.

When you provision a Cloud PC, as a part of troubleshooting, the user can restart the Cloud PC on their own. Restarting a Cloud PC in Windows 365 allows you to log in again and gain access to all of your files. It is important to note that a Cloud PC restart can be initiated by a user as well as Windows 365 administrators.

You must exercise caution when enabling the Cloud PC reset option for Windows 365 users. This is because performing a Cloud PC reset will result in the loss of apps and configuration settings. Unless the user is made aware of this option, the Cloud PC reset shouldn’t be enabled.


What happens during the Cloud PC Reset?


If you have enabled the Cloud PC reset option for users, it is essential to understand the background process that occurs during the Windows 365 Cloud PC reset.


The following activities occur upon resetting your Cloud PC:


  1. Windows will be reinstalled
  2. All your personal files will be removed
  3. All the changes made to the Settings are deleted
  4. All the installed apps from Microsoft Apps (not the default ones) will be deleted
  5. Restore points created for the Cloud PC will be deleted.


If you look at the above operations, resetting a Cloud PC is similar to reinstalling the operating system. As a result, users should be aware of what the Windows 365 Cloud PC reset option does and when to use it.
