    Settings not working after System Reset


    I reset my Windows 10 PC to factory settings, with full drive wipe. After the reset, Settings app stopped working altogether. I can boot normally, and everything, except the Settings app, works. I have tried everything I could find online, including a full system reset (again), but nothing has worked so far.

    I can't run Windows Update because it launches Settings, and crashes before it can make any progress.

    Running Settings in different ways (Win+I, through Start, from Powershell) fails in the same manner. Running control update produces explorer.exe File system error (-2147219196).

    I am running these commands now:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /restoreHealth

    And will see if they produce anything.

    If anyone has any suggestions in the meantime, that would be great.

    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".
