  1. Can't login or reset.


    So I accidentally deleted my windows defender attempting to repair it. I then chose to reset my PC hoping to get it back and have my PC working again. Each time I try to reset it, it comes back to the login screen, and when I try to login it says that the sign in service has failed. The reset doesn't work and I cannot login to fix it, what do I do?

    :)
