  1. Resetting Windows 10


    Finally this useless operating system has given me the final nudge to reset it.

    It will not recognise external hard drive docks.

    Now I am attempting to reset it.

    I want to keep my data on the disk as I cannot back it up, but it keeps asking for a password when I go in through the recovery screen.

    I have entered the outlook password for the account given.

    But it keeps saying incorrect password.

    I have reset the password,

    But it keeps saying incorrect password, even when I have reset it on the machine I am attempting to reset.


    I do not have any recovery media as I went through a packet of dvd r discs as it kept crashing. After 10 failed attempts I gave up on a recovery disk...

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  4. Resetting Windows 10

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
