Windows 10: Windows 10 reset taking forever

Recently I decided to reset my Windows 10 install after having my laptop crash a few times.

However, while resetting, I realised that the progress on the install bit has been stuck on 7% for awhile now.

As of writing this, the progress on the installation is still stuck on 7% and a few hours have already passed.

Right now I’m wondering if it is safe to restart my laptop as it is really tempting to do so.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Reset taking forever...

Hi my computer has been working really poorly. as i said in the other forum that i Made: System Restore
not Working.

So after a while even what the guy suggested it still gave a a error. so i decided to reset it but keep all my files. its been 5 hours and its only at 4%. i though that was normal but after i looked online it said about 2 - 4 hours. so im wondering if i
should turn off my computer or just let it take forever. i assume the reset will take a few days.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Windows 10 Update Taking Forever

To isolate your concern, we suggest that you perform the following steps to trigger
safe mode through the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) option. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Improper shutdown process (For Laptop: Remove the battery before performing the steps)
  • Turn on your computer. When the Windows logo is visible, unplug the power source of your computer. Perform this step three times.
  • On the fourth time that you turn on your computer, just simply wait for the
    Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) window to appear.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click
  Restart.
• Once your computer restarts, you will see a list of options. Press the
  F4 key to start your computer in safe mode.

We also recommend that you perform a system restore after booting in
safe mode. This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made. To do
this, follow the steps below:

• In the Search box, type Control
  Panel and press Enter.
• On the upper-right window, under View
  by, click Category and select
  Large icons.
• Search Control Panel for Recovery.
• Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
• Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.
