  1. If I reset my PC, will it restore my original windows that came from my OEM?


    When I first booted up my desktop, it forced me to sign in with my Microsoft account. This cause a bit of unwanted behaviour with OneDrive and other services.

    I reinstalled windows via the media creation tool to eliminate all the bloat.

    Then I upgraded my Windows to Enterprise shortly after from Windows Home. I wanted to setup my PC without the forced sign-in now.

    If I reset my PC, will it reinstall all my OEM bloat or only to the point of how it looked after the media creation tool install?

    That won't do it, I'm afraid. From the tutorial in your link...

    Restore factory settings
    • This is to do a factory restore on an OEM PC that came preinstalled with Windows 10.
    • Reinstalls the version of Windows that your PC came with and removes your personal files.
    • Removes apps and drivers you installed.
    • Removes changes you made to settings.
    • Reinstalls any apps your PC manufacturer installed on your PC.
    • This option isn't available on all PCs.

    Windows is not activated following "reset this pc"

    Thank you @NavyLCDR, I tried your suggestions but still have the same issue.
    @Superfly, My main issue is the fact that sppsvc.exe won't start and throws the Error 5 (Access Denied). I tried changing permissions, taking ownership etc. but still have the same issue.

    I guess my next step is another restore :-(. I assume you mean a fresh install because the original issue was caused after I clicked "Reset this PC" option in system settings?
