Windows 10: Windows 11 complete reset stuck restartinf

Good afternoon,I decided to completely reset my computer. It went T through most of the reset process yesterday but now I turn it on I get the loading welcome screen then it flashes to a blue screen that looks like an update is being installed. It’s been doing this for several hours. How do I stop this? So I can finish the reset process?I’ve tried doing control alt delete and there is no reaction.

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

How to Reset Windows 11

This article explains how to Reset Windows 11 PC in case it is not working well.

Reset is a feature in Windows 11, which Reinstalls Windows, allowing you to keep the files or remove them as desired. Resetting is particularly helpful when you have problems with specific Windows components like Windows updates not working, Apps crashing, etc.

Doing a Reset affects the following things:

1. Reinstall a fresh copy of Windows.
   
2. Reset your customized Settings to default.
   
3. Remove/Keep your files depending on which option you select.
   
4. Remove the installed applications on your Windows 11 PC.
   

A Reset takes 20-25 minutes, depending on the configuration and the option chosen of Cloud Reset or Local Reset.

There are multiple ways to Reset your Windows 11 PC, and the following steps explain those in Detail:

How to Reset Windows 11

If you can start your computer, you can trigger a Reset from the Settings app. See the steps below:

• Open Start menu>Settings app.
  
  

• Go to System>Recovery options at the end.
  
• Under Recovery options, click Reset PC.
  
  
  

Reset options in Windows 11, now in System Settings, instead of Update and Security

• Select if you want to keep your files or remove the files. Removing the files is helpful if you plan to donate or sell your computer. I am selecting to keep my files in this example.
  

• The next step is, how do you want to Reset Windows by downloading the Installation files from the Cloud or do a Local Reset. If you have an Internet connection, I recommend using the Cloud download option. Windows would download a 4GB file to your device and use that to reinstall Windows. A Local reinstall may also help, but for reliability purposes, I strongly suggest using Cloud Download. If you do not have an Internet connection or have limited data, choose Local reinstall.
  

• Confirm the Ready to Reset this PC screen and the Recent update screen.
  

• The process to download would then start. Confirm the Additional settings screen.
  

• A preparing to Reset screen would then appear, which starts the Installation Process.
  

• Windows would then Restart and show you the Resetting Progress on the screen.
  

• After the first Restart, Windows would boot to the Installation phase.
  

• When the process is complete, you would see the Login screen. Enter your PIN.
  

• After that, the Windows would finalize the Reset and show you the desktop.
  

• The Reset process is complete.
  

Reset Windows 11 from Windows Recovery environment

If your Windows has stopped working, Windows provides an option to Reset Windows 11 PC from the Recovery environment. To do that, you need to force the computer into Windows Recovery and then Reset Windows 11 from there. The process is nearly the same as above.

Step 1: Trigger the recovery environment:

• To force Windows into the Recovery environment, Perform a hard shutdown by pressing the power button for 5 seconds when the Windows boot screen appears.
  
• Do this twice.
  

• On the third time, you would see the Windows Recovery Environment, which would say that your PC has a problem and it could not repair the problem.
  

Step 2: Reset Windows 11 from the Windows Recovery environment

• Click Advanced options.
  

• Click Troubleshoot. Select Reset this PC.
  

• Select if you want to Keep files or Remove everything.
  

• Select Cloud Download or Local Download.
  
• Confirm the Reset.
  
• The process would start.
  

After that, your computer would do the same process as mentioned above.

These steps can help you Resetting your Windows 11 PC. If a Reset fails, you may have to do a clean install using a USB hard drive, either prepared on another computer or an existing one you have.

Update problems

Hi TiffanyBowers,



Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Community. I understand your Lumia 610 keeps getting stuck on step 6 of the update that you're trying to install. I can provide you a few steps to try in an effort to resolve the update issue.



There are a couple of different steps on a support page located at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484 that we'll want to try. I would suggest the steps for stuck in download mode, stuck at OEM splash screen, and error not listed on this page.



Before performing the suggested reset under the steps for error not listed, I would first suggest trying a soft reset. If you're able to remove the battery, leaving it out of the phone for a few minutes will soft reset the phone. Another option for performing
a soft reset would be to hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone has restarted completely.



Please let us know if any of these suggestions are helpful to your update issue.



Regards,
