Windows 10: My Windows 10 is resetting to factory on reboot. Is there a way to fix it?

All of my files are still there, but it replaces my background with the default one, forgets all my logins and extensions, treats all browsers and apps like they are being opened for the first time, resets all the custom setting, etc. Why is it doing this? I would like it so it remember my settings and information after I reboot it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Factory Reset Windows10: There was a problem resetting your PC FIX


How to Factory Reset Windows10 or upgraded to Windows10 from Windows7 or 8.
This is also a FIX for the ERROR: There was a problem resetting your PC.
This fix is only for Legit Authorized Copies of Windows 7, 8, or 10.


Hey all, I upgraded to Win10 from Win8.1 when it was released for free upgrades in 2015. It is now 2016 and I wanted to Factory Reset my PC so I can start fresh again. I attempted to do it from Settings/Update and Security/Recovery/Reset this PC as suggested by Microsoft but I received and error saying "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made." After searching the web I found many different fixes but they all seems so involved. Making a boot flash drive or burning a DVD and use their software... There is an awesome tutorial on this forum called Windows 10 Clean Install but I like to KISS when I can (Keep It Simple Stupid) so I decided to check with Microsoft.com before I started that process.


THE SIMPLE FIX I FOUND THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Go to: Windows 10
Click the "Upgrade Now" button.
Follow the prompts and you're good to go.
Works with Windows 7, 8 and 10. Simple enough for me

I wasn't able to find this simple suggestion when searching the web so I felt I should post it in hopes it helps someone too

Questions about doing a reset to my OEM Win 10

Navy, does Restore "Restore Factory Settings" keeps the users data?
Shawn gave me this link Refresh Windows 10
It's almost the same as Reset.

Naknir, witch one of the following did you use:

• Option One: To Reset Windows 10 at Boot
• Option Two: To Reset Windows 10 from Settings in Windows 10

- - - Updated - - -

My suggestion:
- Save all your data on an external disk
- Reboot and enter BIOS. It should have a option to Factory Restore.
