Windows 10: Need Help Resetting PC After Several Failed Attempts

Hello, I'm posting a 2nd message and request for help if possible. For the past few days, I've been having trouble resetting my PC. I'll do my best to summarize what's happened so far. 3 days ago - my first attempt at resetting my PC. Dell, desktop, Windows 10. The process took at least 12 hours, so I decided to sleep and when I woke up my screen was blank, and I was unable to proceed. It seems that during the time I fell asleep, my PC was asking to delete some "TMI" files ??? I didn't get a chance to click "OK" or decline to delete any files, so I restarted my PC again using the met

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
