  1. How to reset desktop without logging in


    I was not able to log into my outlook account. There was no reset password option. I read that rebooting and pressing F11 would bring me to a system administrator area. However, this also requires a password that I don't know. I'm now stuck in this area that I need to sign in as a system administrator. Is there a way I can reset my entire computer without logging in? Or is there a tip to get out of this forced system administrator log in? After 3 attempts it shuts the computer down.Thank you!

    :)

  2. Desktop freeze after log in

    Hi Keith,

    In order for us to find out what causes your desktop to freeze after logging in, we would like to gather more information:

    • Did you make any recent changes on your computer prior to this issue?
    • What other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • When the computer freezes, do you get an error message?

    Regards.

    Google Chrome keeps resetting bookmarks position

    Can you list what tasks/steps you've done thus far in your attempt to resolve it?

    Have you logged off your profile (if using Sync) and done a complete wipe of the browser?

    How about uninstall and then wipe any remaining data?

    Do you have another device you can sort on that it works fine or you could test with?

    Windows 10 Startup Reset log in showing "preparing Windows" for long time

    Since yesterday, Windows 10 Os' s taking longer time than usual to open, and on first screen of log in showing "preparing Windows" for long time and then goes directly to set up pin screen. After I skip the step, it takes to Microsoft password verification
    screen, then opens the desktop as reset and refreshed (i.e., no saved files in desktop, only few installed programs are there). After working and shutting down the PC, it again resets and shows as above to give pin and a new desktop. The computer is responding
    very slowly. Please suggest what steps to be taken to repair it. I don't want to reformat the pc.
