  2. Windows 10 Factory Reset Infinite Boot Loop

    Hello,

    As you are facing issue with Boot loop, I suggest you to perform a Startup Repair by following the steps provided below:

    • Go to the Microsoft software download website and create Windows 10
      installation media.
    • Insert the installation media you created, and then restart your PC.
    • On the Install Windows screen, select Repair your computer.
    • On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot>Advanced Options.
    • Click on Startup Repair.

    After the repair is complete, check for status.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    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".

    Windows 10 Factory Reset Automatic Repair Loop

    I recently received a used Dell laptop from a family friend. Typically, I am able to repair and/or reset any laptop that I lay my hands on, but I was not informed that this one ran with Windows 10. As I booted it up, I was immediately thrown into this constant
    loop of "Preparing Automatic Repair"....."Diagnosing Your PC"....reboot and Dell screen...."Preparing Automatic Repair"...."Diagnosing Your PC"....and again, the reboot.

    I was told that this particular laptop had been performing a factory reset when it was accidentally shut down and restarted.

    I am unfamiliar with Win10, so I don't know what to do at this point.

    What can I do to repair this laptop and get it functioning properly again?
