USB Recovery

Hi Cam,

Using USB recovery will only restore the original factory version, it will not include your apps and settings. Your files will not be retained.

In the meantime, since your initial problem might be due to software conflict, we suggest that you try doing a

clean boot first and check if it solves the problem with File Explorer and video player. Clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This also helps eliminate software conflicts.

Update us with the result.

 

USB Recovery

Thank you for the information.

For us to better isolate the issue, we would like to know some additional information:

• Have you done any changes like Windows update or anything on your computer prior to the issue?
• Which Windows build and version are you using?
• Have you tried booting your computer in Safe mode?

We suggest that you try booting your computer in
Safe mode and check if it will work. If not, we suggest running System file checker and DISM on this

link. It will scan your computer for any corrupted Windows system files and restore it.

Update us with the result.

 

If you have a 12.28 GB recovery partition, that is from a previous Verdi n of windows.

Windows 10 recovery partitions are only around 0.5GB containing software to rebuild os from Windows 10 itself.

To make a recovery usb, you need to do following

control panel, recovery, create a recovery drive, and chrck box to back up system files to the recovery drive.

It should easily fit on an 8GB drive (16 GB is fine).

However some people have reported issue with 10240 with it not working.

Fortunately, with windows 10, there is not much difference between a clean install usb drive (easy to create) and a recovery usb drive, so a recovery drive is less crtical than with windows 7 for example.

 

This is incorrect.

 

I tried without checking system files and got the utilities on the usb drive.
I've tried to get the system files loaded on the usb drive three times and each time
the same message appears. Other people are having the same problem.
Looks like I need to wait till Windows 10 gets the bug fixed.

 

If you hit a brick wall here, I suggest to put an image on the stick.

 

Good idea, need to get a larger USB.

Thanks to everybody for your Help

 

yeah,it could be ,but ,I thought they meant there were trying to make the factory recovery usb , there for it wouldn't be ,,sorry for my misunderstanding . *Eek
