    I got my laptop repaired a few months ago, so I switched my laptop to use a local account instead of my microsoft account just before i sent it over to them. When I got it back, I switched it back to use my Microsoft account. Flash forward to today, I noticed the user file for the account wasn't deleted, so I went into powershell and typed net user "user" /delete. Then I tried to open file explorer to check if the folder was gone, but it wouldn't let me enter the program. It said something about the user id not matching, so I restarted my pc. Then it wouldn't let me log in with my fingerprint, so I typed in my pin which didn't work and so I tried my password. That didn't work either, so I restarted my computer again, but this time i held shift to go to the recovery environment and started windows in safe mode. In safe mode, I couldn't access the start menu, file explorer or settings. There were no error messages. I restarted my computer again but this time the account at the login screen is "Administrator" it was my normal account before. There is nowhere to enter a password or a pin and it there is a "sign in" button. When clicked, it says "your account has been disabled. Please see your administrator". At this point, I just wanted to completely reset the system. So, I held shift and clicked restart to go to the recovery environment but it didn't show up. There was a blue screen for a split second but that was it, it proceeded to restart like normal. I tried this a few times and then i powered my laptop on and off three times consecutively multiple times. No recovery environment. This is where I am now. I just want a way to reset my pc, my important files are backed up to onedrive so keeping my files is not a top priority. Please help, I really need this computer up and running ASAP.

    :)

    Explanations for deleted posts?

    Like I said, it makes no sense in letting users see deleted posts, even if they are their own. That's why they were deleted in the first place. If they get to see who specifically deleted it, it only serves one purpose. Lets them bitch.

    Had a Question..it was deleted --.--

    our policy is to delete only spam/inappropriate posts.

    the only person who can "hard delete" posts on the forums is me .. everybody else can just soft-delete the posts, the original author will see those posts in the threads list with a comment why it was deleted.

    to the poster it will look like this, without "manage"
