Windows typically removes itself from the C drive and then restarts. Your user files in C/Users/[Username] remain intact, but all other data on the C drive—like programs, files, and apps—is erased. After a reset, you can recover items from the Windows.old folder, though you’ll need to reinstall applications. It’s highly advised to back up important data such as files and game saves before proceeding.
If there are games without cloud save synchronization (like Minecraft), you must manually back up your saves to avoid loss.
I understand, I don’t play Minecraft much, but my main worry is whether I need to reinstall GTA. It seems to take a long time, and I really don’t want that. Regarding other apps like Rainmeter, they all let you change their installation location outside of C, so you probably won’t need to reinstall them.
Ensure nothing outside the C drive is affected. If relocating GTA isn't possible, you'll need to go through a full reinstall. Before making any registry changes, double-check that everything functions properly to avoid extra issues.
You can keep tracking it via Task Manager, meaning you might avoid a full reset.
Sure, I'll try to help. I'll visit their Discord and request assistance. If I don't receive anything, I'll simply let it go and restart later if needed. Thanks for your effort—I'll flag you as the answer now.
