    Windows 10 Update factory reset my computer settings


    I received my laptop from Acer in which they fixed a boot loop issue with my laptop. I logged it in and was happy to see all of my settings and everything were all in tact. I used my laptop for about a day or 2 and I got a notification about a windows update. I did the update and it factory reset all of my settings and I was no longer even signed in on the computer, I had to re-sign in to my windows account! I spent so long setting this computer up the way I wanted it to be, I am very frustrated that I am looking at having to do all of this again just because of an update.....

    :)

  3. Reset to factory settings


    No I love Windows 10.....but my computer was acting strange so I thought I would do a factory reset and put Windows 10 back onto my computer.

    If I do create a bootable Windows 10 would I lose the recover drive information that comes with the computer?

    Could you give me the steps to create a bootable of Windows 10.....I asked HP if there was anyway I could get Windows 10 put on it while they had it and they said no.

    Thank you.

  4. Windows 10 Update factory reset my computer settings

    Reset to factory settings


    Hi,. I have an HP Envy Phoenix with 1 Tb hard drive....64 bit.

    It was originally a Windows 7 computer that I upgraded to Windows 10. I decided to do a factory reset and set it to start Friday night andwhenI looked at it Saturday it was still going.....12 hours. I restarted the computer and it started up with the HP symbol and a turning circle.....then HP symbol goes away but the spinning circle remains.

    I got on the phone with HPsupport and he tried a few things that didn't work.....computer goes to HP as soon as the box gets here.

    Any suggestions....I hate to be without my computer.

    .thanks
