Windows 10: PC cannot reset and files are corrupted

Hello, I have attempted to reset my pc and got to a stage where i corrupted my files.


Details

Edition: Windows 10

System type: 64-bit

Make: Custom Built PC (Bought from somebody else)

Any recent changes: No


Problems

1. I am unable to reset my PC. It throws an error "There was a problem resetting your PC."

2. I am unable to open anything's properties. (right click > properties not working)

3. Open with option doesn't work, in my case, with Python programs. I tried to open them with IDLE but nothing happens, no errors or any window.

4. I get an error when I try to insert my USB to create a recovery disc or whatever it's called.

5. I went on CMD and tried sfc /scannow to fix any problems but I get an error "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service." I then went on services and looked for Windows Modules Installer and saw that it was set to Manual, I wanted to make it automatic but it wasn't letting me open its properties. Then I went on CMD again and typed in "Net start trustedinstaller" and it told me that it was already started.

6. File path does not exist comes up for every file i try to open.


What I tried to do:

- sfc /scannow. Didn't work.

- Making a recovery file but even that gave me a random error.


I just want this error to get fixed so I can use all my features like I did before, It simply won't allow me to even clean-reset my PC. It always gives me this error, I have tried everything and I just want to use my pc.


Thanks

:)

 

Corrupted file RAR

If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:

• Open WinRAR application in your system.
• Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
• A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
• Now click Open button.
• Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
• Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
• Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
• Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
• WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.

I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

Thanks.

Hi Vincent,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community.

Please perform the below steps and see if it helps to resolve the issue.

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope this information helps. Please post us if you need any further assistance with Windows.

Thank you.

 

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
