    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,

    Cannot reset Win10

    I've tried 3 times to reset an old Acer laptop that's running Win10. I need to ship it out and don't want any of my digital footprint left on it. I go through the steps to reset under Recovery, and it chugs through as if it were doing something, but hours
    later it comes back with a message that it could not reset the computer and nothing was changed. (I did this already on another laptop, and it worked fine, so I don't think I'm missing steps.)

    Are there other approaches to resetting that I can try?
