    How do I reset my old work laptop?


    Whenever I turn it on it says "HDD: has been blocked by the current security policy" then when I press ok it says "no boo table device hit any key" then takes me to boot manager. And if I press enter on the only option it just restarts the process

    Multiple Issues After Resetting Laptop

    Hi,

    I recently reset my laptop and since then I've been experiencing a whole host of issues:

    • Windows search bar doesn't work
    • Shop app won't open
    • Won't allow me to change location settings
    • Clock/calendar on my toolbar is unresponsive when I click on it

    Any ideas what the problem might be, please? Advice / suggestions are very much appreciated!

    Cheers,
