Windows 10: Factory Reset, no Windows 10 core apps no system32 config

After the last update from microsoft, I lost my sound. No help from anyone so thought a reset would put things back to normal.

Now the only thing that comes up on the desktop is a C:\WINDOWS\system32 config/systemprofile\desktop is unavailable.


No menu /apps/etc from any thing -no access to anything .


This should have set the notebook back to the state it was when I purchased it - and it did not. And since everything on the thing seems to be microsoft it stands to reason this be where I get the cure. I have: Edition Windows 10 Home Version 1803 OS Build


How do I get it set back to where it was when I purchased it? All the apps and settings to administer?

Bad system config info windows 10 on boot up!!!

Finally found the only solution that works. From:

How To Fix The Bad_System_Config_Info Error In Windows 10

Fix The Windows Registry

Boot from a Windows 10 USB/DVD and launch Command Prompt. It is better to use the DVD for this purpose. After that, follow these instructions:

• Use the following command:
  
  CD C:\Windows\System32\config
  
  (here C is the partition where Windows is installed).
• Enter the following commands one by one to rename these files with the .old postfix:
  
  ren C:\Windows\System32\config\DEFAULT DEFAULT.old
  
  ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SAM SAM.old
  
  ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SECURITY SECURITY.old
  
  ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE SOFTWARE.old
  
  ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM SYSTEM.old
• Enter the following commands one by one to copy registry backup files to your current registry folder. This completes the manual restoration of your computer’s registry.
  • copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\DEFAULT C:\Windows\System32\config\
  • copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SAM C:\Windows\System32\config\
  • copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SECURITY C:\Windows\System32\config\
  • copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SYSTEM C:\Windows\System32\config\
  • copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SOFTWARE C:\Windows\System32\config\
