    reset this PC


    I have the message that I am unable to use Reset because UAC is set to always notify me of system changes. Can someone explain this to me as I have not yet found an explanation by searching on google.

    Thanks

  2. RESET THIS PC!, "RESET THIS PC" OR "ADVANCED OPTION" DOESN'T EXIST

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Please reply:

    1. Do you receive any error message? If yes please reply with the error message and error code.

    2. Did you use the Get Windows 10 app or the media creation tool to upgrade to Windows 10?

    I would suggest you do a startup repair by using Windows 10 DVD. If you do not have Windows 10 DVD I would suggest you create one. Follow the steps from the links below:

    Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool:


    Windows 10 herunterladen

    Follow the steps below to run a startup repair using Windows 10 DVD

    Boot from the Windows 10 DVD.

    a) At the Install Now screen, click Repair your computer >Advanced Options >
    Troubleshoot > Startup repair

    b) Follow the on screen instructions

    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,

    Hello kevvyb, *Smile

    Does it allow you to reset the PC if you set UAC to the default setting?

    Probably but my question is why? And why do I have to redcuse the protection offered by UAC (assuming that it is as useful as it once purported) to be able to use this feature?

    EDIT: Yes it does....

    I'm not sure why that UAC setting would be blocking it somehow either.

    Could be a Permission Problem if you have change permissions on your HD or a leftover bug from the update 2 months ago
    Well UAC is blocking it because my guess did you log in with admin rights "the normal account" or have you change account to a user because then you can't do anything have a look at your account and see what it is admin or user
