Does a question mark (?) come to the end of a sentence which starts with “How to …” ? if no/yes why?

Do these sentences need question mark?

How To Repair and Restore Windows 10 (?)

Or

How to fix java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljava/beans/Introspector error (?)

(this is a programming question)

Answer

I think it depends on the intent.

If you are actually asking that question, then the mark should appear.

How to restore Windows 10?

If you mean to relay a fact (or statement), you essentially mean to tell the person something. Give them some information to play with.
Hence, a question mark should not be required here. As such a statement would qualify as assertive or imperative. But certainly not interrogative.

How to restore windows 10.

Read the full stop at the end of this sentence as “…is this…”
