    Can't Reset Windows


    As the title suggests, I can't reset Windows. I was told that chances are it's because of my buggy insider build, but when I try to opt out of insider builds the button is greyed out and there is orange text at the top saying "Some settings are managed by your organization.". This is a home PC.
    Any ideas? I really just need to reset my PC and get it working again ASAP. Would mean so much to me if someone could help me fix this.

    Thanks so much.

    :)

    "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4013429)"

    But when i restart my windows, it gets hang with message like "windows is preparing... do not shutdown your system". I waited long time for it to complete but it remained hanged and I had to force shutdown my system. I already faced this issue 2 times. Why
    the system is getting hang during the update.

    My update status keep giving me message as Updates are available for "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4013429)" but fails to get install. why?

    Help please.

    I really appreciate the reply. However, I'd rather not do a clean install as I'm borrowing an external harddrive and it doesn't have enough space for me to back everything up. If I have to I will, but I'd far rather just reset it so it keeps my files.

    Any ideas as to how to achieve that?

    I think I'm just going to reinstall, however I can't figure out how I want partitioning to go.

    I have a 500mb System Reserved partition set up with 147mb free, and I also have a 931gb partition set up with 208.1gb free. The first one has 'System' under type and the other 'Primary'. How does this work? Should I format both?

    Can't Reset Windows

    If you wanted to clean install, you could delete all partitions on the Windows disk first until "unallocated", then select to install Windows 10 to the "unallocated" disk. Windows Setup will automatically setup the partitions for you.
