For an app that exposes Windows repair options, try Repair before Reset. Not every desktop program offers these controls, and Reset may remove local settings. Follow the application's own recovery instructions if the Windows option is absent.
Why this happens
Repair and Reset have different effects. Treating them as interchangeable can erase a working playlist while testing a launch problem.
Work through the steps
- Recover the account setup privately.
- Find the app under Windows installed-app settings.
- Use Repair if that option is available.
- Reopen and test before considering Reset or reinstall.
What to avoid
Do not assume every traditional desktop program has an Advanced Options page. Preserve licence and playlist recovery information before a reset.
Know what changed
The app should reopen without requiring erased settings after a successful repair. If only Reset is available, establish its documented data effect before proceeding.
