  1. Failed System Reset and Now Can't Use UEFI to Reinstall Windows


    Hi, I was resetting my Windows 11 system and we had a power outage. It was already problematic I think because after 4 hours it was on %25 although the PC is new with a Ryzen 9950X, RTX 5080, 2TB SSD and 4TB hard drive and got nothing downloaded inside. Now the problem is, it failed the reset process due to power outage and now I can't repair windows, it just doesn't repair because probably the old install corrupted while performing the reset. But I can't clean install windows either. I choose my SSD and at %11 or %13 it says ''failed to install windows 11''. When I try to install new Windo

  2. Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    @Bengie ,

    Did you want to perform a reset save file or reset remove files?

    If yes then if they fail you can perform nearly equivalent steps.


    Indicate clearly:
    a) what are the problems
    b) what you consider a fix

    For the nearly equivalent steps files can be saved and a fresh copy of Windows is installed.
    Drivers and applications need to be reinstalled.

    Indicate whether these are issues:
    Partition problems
    MBR vs GPT
    BIOS: Legacy vs UEFI

    Failed System Reset and Now Can't Use UEFI to Reinstall Windows

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
