    Windows 10 won't reboot following machine reset


    Hi,


    Following my Father-in-Law's death I have tried to reset his laptop so I can pass it on. However, it now reboots to a blue page with location, keyboard and time zone options and then a blue restart page with connecting to internet to download missing files, and keeps recycling these pages.


    HELP!


    I don't have access to his reboot disk, that is, if he ever did one, nor any of the passwords requested in the troubleshoot pages that I've tried to resolve this myself.


    Any ideas / suggestions, or is the machine now dead?


    Season's Greetings


    Alan Webb


    P.S. the Laptop is a Dell Inspiron N5040, originally supplied with Windows 7 and subsequently upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade.

    :)

    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 won't reboot following machine reset

    Laptop went black and won;t reboot

    Hi Andree,

    Hardware and software conflict is one of the possible reasons why you're experiencing black screen. Sometimes, it is also because of hardware failure. To get this issue fixed, we suggest that you
    boot into Safe Mode by following these steps:

    • Turn off your computer 3 times while booting. Windows should automatically boot to the Recovery Environment after 3 unsuccessful attempts in a row.
    • Once you are within the Recovery Environment, select Troubleshoot, and then
      Advanced options, then Startup Settings, and
      Restart
      . When it restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5 for
      Safe Mode with Networking.
    Once your computer is in Safe Mode, please follow the workaround provided on this
    link. Simply select the similar case that you're experiencing to show the troubleshooting steps.

    Let us know how it works.
