During the repair process, Windows will back up your settings, preferences, and changes you’ve made to the apps. Once the repair is done, Windows then restores the changes and settings before the repair. Note: In some cases, settings and changes you’ve made will be lost when Windows repairs the apps. Also, not all apps and programs will provide options to repair, change, or modify them.
