Reset Windows 10 - no USB or ISO file were needed. Can it be due to it being infected with malware?
0
My PC was most certainty infected with some malware program(s). Did reset with clearing everything.When PC in about 5 hours finally restarted, it started working as a new laptop, I did not have to create an ISO file or use an USB.
Can it be due to the infections and because malware was not actually deleted?

First of all, welcome to Super User! To answer your question, no, that isn't necessarily true. You don't need to burn an ISO file to an optical disc or utilize a USB flash drive. Please take a few minutes and thoroughly read this tutorial that explains how the Windows 10 reset process works: How to Reset Windows 10

Did you use Reset or Fresh Start? Edit your question to provide this vital information to your question necessary to answer your question. In either case, your machine is restored using an image, which does not contain malware.

I reset, could not find any other options such as "reinstall" or "fresh start." Also, I no longer have a choice to set up my network as "private," only "public" and cannot uncheck the box that says "allow connection to be shared." What is better, reset or fresh start?
