Does Windows 8 have an auto restore feature? Lost settings after freeze!

[crewxp]

hey, I'm just curious. I had a system freeze recently and all the programs I installed before that freeze would not run after I rebooted. When I reinstalled them and froze again, the same thing happened.

When I re-installed Windows 8 to fix some issues, I saw that it had detected a 'Recovery Partition' on my main SSD where my Windows 8 was installed.

Does Windows 8 have a built in recovery feature? Is there a way to disable the recovery partition on my ssd?

Theres a refresh feature. It's like reinstalling the os but keeping your stuff on the side.

As for recovery option on the drive should be like w7 where u go in the option and disable the recovery option on specific drive. Don't know how it'll behave if u do have trouble and it's disabled and want to recover.

awesome! I thought it wasn't just me! My files were being deleted too.

It's annoying now, but definitely useful! thanks for the info
