  1. PC that resets itself to a previous version."


    Hi everyone, Yesterday, my PC was in sleep mode, and when I turned it on this morning, the mouse wasn't working. So, I had to restart it. However, it booted up to a version from over a year ago. Many files and configurations have disappeared. Moreover, Microsoft Office is no longer functioning. I did try to restart it using WindowsImageBackup, but it's asking for a password, and mine isn't working old passwords, PIN, password changes, nothing. I don't know what else to do.

  3. erase previous version of windows to create space

    Perform the steps to delete previous version of windows :-


    • In the search box on the taskbar, type settings, then choose it from the list of results.

    • Select System > Storage > This PC and then scroll down the list and choose Temporary file
    • Under Remove temporary files, select the Previous version of Windows check box and then choose Remove files.

    Cannot go back to previous version of windows

    I'm currently facing the issue that I can't restore the my previous installation of Windows. I did the following things:

    • Try to "repair-install" Windows on top of Windows using the Media Creation Tool due to a few oddities I noticed. This failed due to the error "An unknown command-line option [/DynamicUpdate] was specified".
    • Made an ISO using the Media Creation Tool and used that to "repair-install" Windows, or so I thought - apparently, doing it this way removes all your data and apps... (this is where it all started)
    • Tried to go back to the previous version using the Settings app - no luck here, as the button was simply missing
    • Made a image of the hard drive just so I can't mess up any more things
    • Copy the contents of the Windows.old folder manually to their previous place (using robocopy to ensure that all attributes and permissions were copied properly) - This mostly worked, as in I got back into Windows and the data were where they should be, but I couldn't start most UWP apps or the start menu, so something must've gone wrong. (It is possible that I forgot to delete a folder before copying the old versions, but I didn't try this again)
    • Convert the drive to GPT (previously MBR) - this was done because I noticed a few minor issues trying to boot in UEFI mode during the previous steps
    • Reinstall Windows using a newly created installer USB stick
    • Copy the Windows.old folder from the drive image onto the drive (again using robocopy)
    • Try to roll back using the recovery mode of the installer USB - this fails with the error "We ran into a problem and won't be able to take you back to the previous version of Windows. Try resetting your PC instead" (which I obviously don't want to/already did) - there's no error code
    • Rolling back from within Windows is still not possible

    Any suggestions on how I could fix the problem? Where does the "We ran into a problem..." error come from?
