Factory resetting your device solves a number of problems. From inexplicable battery issues to performance lags, factory reset is one of the last solutions that a user is recommended before actually going to an expert or a help center. If you are wondering how to factory reset Windows 10 Mobile powered devices for a renewed experience, here are the easy few steps.
If you need to factory reset your Windows powered device, it can be done in a few simple steps. Please note, however, that a hard reset erases all the data present on your Lumia device. The process restores your phone to a state of a new device, setting it back to the default configurations. Make sure that you create a backup of your data before proceeding.
■ Go to
Settings >
System >
About >
Reset your phone.

■ Turn off your Lumia smartphone.
■ Hold down
Power and
Volume Down keys simultaneously for about 15 seconds until your phone vibrates. If it switches back on, repeat the step.
■ When you feel the vibration, release the Power key, but
keep on holding the Volume Down button.
■ You will next see an exclamation mark on the screen of your Lumia device.
■ Press
Volume Up,
Volume Down, and
Power keys.
■ Your Lumia device will now reset to the factory settings.
