    Stuck on "Preparing to configure windows", restore windows is not work

    Hi Ansonkan,

    The "Preparing to configure windows" means that your computer is applying the necessary update and changes made on the computer. Being stuck on that page might be caused by software conflicts or due to corrupted system files.

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you that you perform a clean boot. A clean boot will help eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program, update, or when you run a program in Windows 10. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
    • On the run command box, type msconfig, and then hit
      Enter.
    • On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the
      Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click
      Disable all
      .
    • On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open
      Task Manager.
    • On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
      Disable.
    • Close Task Manager.
    • On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click
      OK, and then restart the computer.

    Note: After clean boot troubleshooting steps, refer to the section "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot" in the provided link to return your computer to normal startup mode.

    For your reference, you can check this article.

    Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
