Resetting PC followed by power outage equals disaster

Hello,

Recently attempted to reset my PC (windows 10 home) and apparently there was a power outage while I was away.

I downloaded the "Media Creation Tool" and using a brand new flash drive it was not able to find the drive.

I then used RUFUS to burn the ISO image onto the drive... however, when I attempted to start the computer it does not read the ISO or flash drive.

All I can get is the "Preparing" and then the error telling me there was a power outage.

 

Power outage caused programs to disappear and/or become disfunctional

Hello,

There are few factors that can contribute to the issue you are encountering. Power outages can result in data loss, corruption of folders/files, and programs not functioning.

To assist you further, kindly provide more details by answering the following questions:

• Which browser are you using to check the passwords and favorites section? Provide the list of browsers where you encountered the concern.
• Have you tried using another account to verify if the programs are still missing on your program list?

There is a possibility that the drive index has been corrupted. We highly suggest that you check your hard drive and scan for errors by following these steps:

• Open This PC on File Explorer and locate your hard drive.
• Right-click and choose Properties.
• Under Tools tab, click on Check Now button.

After scanning the hard drive, hidden files and folders, as well as lost data can be restored.

Additionally, we advise running the System File Checker as another way for us to check or scan for data corruptions in Windows system files that can be affected by the power outage. To do so, follow the steps on this article:
