I am somewhat new to windows 10.
I normally know better than fall for obvious scams and phishing, but i use software like deep freeze because:
Reboot to restore software provides a "playground" where i can just mess around with software and settings and everything will be "clean" when reboot. The problem was...these software hog RAM, harm SSD (constant writing) and are glitchy (sometimes they don't bring a correct state and some periphericals re-plug themselves). They basically take resources and shorten my hardware lifetime.
Windows 10 introduced a "factory reset" (which seems to be an improved alternative OS reinstallation?), is there any other optimization to keep a "clean" PC?
I tried windows defender but the live protection constantly blocked my multiple applications and labelled EVERYTHING that wasn't made by Microsoft a virus.
On XP and 7 there were restore points but they took way too much space if i remember correctly and didn't properly restored much, i think software settings remained unrestored. Were they improved on windows 10?

- I can mess with software settings (like photoshop) …knowing that restart PC will clear them to how I had them.
- I can Install many software from different developers to find a good one …knowing that restart PC will clear them to how I had them.
- I can flood my desktop with multiple folders testing stuff …knowing that restart PC will clear them to how I had them.
