    System reset —factoryreset not working


    Hi, I understand that the system reset —factoryreset command has been disabled by Microsoft. So can anyone please let me know how to reset my computer from the command prompt. My computer on start up just goes around in circles and I am unable to do anything with it bar getting to the command prompt. It’s madness to disable the one command that would have sorted this problem. Is there any additional way that I can get to sort this problem out. Thanks. The computer is an HP elite 800 running windows 10.

    :)

    Programs not working

    In post 26 there were steps listed to fix the operating system corruption.
    Are you able to follow them?
    In post 29 was the suggested dism repair command.

    I have followed your steps and I did get to where you asked and did what you said but after that it said it was checking the flash drive and just started the loop again I'm running a system extensive test to see if it can't find anything wrong other then that I don't know what to do know

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
