    I've started a factory reset on my laptop. It's been like an hour and it's still stuck on the Getting things ready screen. How do I fix this?

    Stuck on - Getting a few things ready


    Hello,
    I am hoping I have come to the right place because I have been browsing through your forms and it looks like good feed back! I am having an issue with creating an ISO for windows 10. I have windows 10 already on this laptop; however when I was doing a reset on my other Laptop (had windows 10 already installed) I got the : inaccessible boot device everyone is seeming to enjoy.. *Rolleyes... read how to fix and started to go through using the MediaCreationToolx64. It starts up and gets stuck on "Getting a few things ready"... The program is not using any CPU or Disk and has a memory usage of 59.2MB and it just sits there... I let it run for several hours and got no results.. I have been searching for a solution but have found no one else with my issue.. everyone else seems to not be able to get it to start or gets an error message. I get neither of these issues.. Any suggestions?
