Windows 10: Kill s-mode when Microsoft will not permit a recovery

My account was created some time ago with a different email and phone. I do NOT have access to these any more and don't remember the password, it has been a long while.


No matter how I try to get into this travesty, I am told they, unfortunately, cannot verify me. I went through this 4 times, once including making an all-new email address. This **** initiated the recovery, bringing back the old email address.


Because of this, I cannot install an antivirus I already own and paid for, and now I may be infected.


How can Microsoft permit me to use my own computer NOW?

Windows Went Recovery mode after uninstalling a program

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

• When you say "safe mode has limited options and they don't seem to work", are you able to boot the computer to the desktop in Safe mode?
  

If you are able to boot the computer in Safe mode, then proceed with the clean boot steps as suggested previously.

If you are still facing issues, then please reply with more information so that we can help you further.

Awaiting your reply.

Regards,
