    An InPlace upgrade is done when the system is running Windows unlike reinstallation. It fixes most issues like update issues, corrupted system files like Defender's, etc. You don't have to use USB for an InPlace upgrade.

    To do it, download Media Creation Tool from here: https://microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 

    Run it, click Upgrade this PC now, choose to keep all files.

    Again, if you wonder how much time it'll take, it depends on the network speed, disk space, and other system resources available.

    Yes, it will be fixed. Or I'd use an InPlace Upgrade to fix the issue without having to reinstall.

    No no I'm talking of only Windows issues. So after clean install/reset will it get fine?(including Windows Defender issue)

    Not all of them. A clean-install can't fix hardware issues. There's nothing much to worry other than hope that it'll be fixed after reinstallation.
