  1. My laptop suddenly factory reset by itself


    My laptop was on sleep mode before this happened. When I opened it and left it on lockscreen mode, it suddenly rebooted and then said “Resetting this PC”. Now, I’m stuck in the Windows Repair Environment. I tried doing Reset PC then Keep my files, but it didn’t work. I cannot reset and delete all my files because I need everything in it. Please help me. I need to use my laptop ASAP.

    :)

    Windows 7 Laptop - Cannot reset to factory settings

    I have been trying to reset my laptop to sell and followed instructions to reset to factory settings as below

    1. Select the category “System and Security” in the control panel.
    2. In the section “Backup and restore” you can find “Recover system settings on your computer” and then click on “Advanced recovery settings”.
    3. Then, you need to click on “Return your computer to factory condition
    I do not have the option Return your computer to factory condition in step 3

    Any ideas?

    I also have the added challenge that my keyboard does not work as I spilt water on it.

    This has taken me hours to try and resolve!!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Ive factory reset my computer but I can't use the mouse or the keyboard to select laugage

    Hi,

    A device like your keyboard and mouse is not detected during factory reset.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps
    that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

    • Are you performing a factory reset on a laptop or a desktop?
    • Is this the first time you perform a factory reset on your device?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

    In the meantime, if you're working on a desktop, we suggest that you try to use a PS2 keyboard just to bypass the installation process. Once Windows is up and running, you may now plug your mouse and keyboard to initialize Windows to detect these devices.

    We look forward to your response.
