In messing around with installing Win7 apps in Win8DP, I somehow totally hosed up the display so that all I got was a black screen with a mouse cursor.
So, I rebooted and chose the Refresh option, which surprisingly, worked!
And, as the text claimed, it removed ALL the apps in the process (no surprise there).
What was a surprise is that it removed all the Windows Updates and all the device drivers that weren't installed by default. So, basically, it acted like a total restore -- which may be what it was intended to do. But, I thought that the Reset option was supposed to be the total restore, not the Refresh.
