  1. Windows 10 Reset Not Working


    Hi All,


    I have an Asus laptop which I have just done a factory reset but having issues with it, post reset.


    I was not able to log on on start up as it only had an option for another user, the only way I managed to log on was restart in safe mode with networking which allowed me to log in as an administrator.


    Now that I am in, I have a black background with a recycle bin, task bar at the bottom which does not respond to clicks etc. And an error message


    'Location is not available'


    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable.


    I tried one solution to Add Desktop location through Registry Editor, under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    But this also did not work. Can anyone advise me what to do?



    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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.
