    Windows 11 Reset Stuck on "Just a Moment" Screen Forever

    I performed the reset through Windows Recovery and selected 'Remove Everything.' However, I encountered two issues:

    1. The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error during Windows installation. As a result, the installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click ‘OK’ to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.
      • I resolved this by following a guide that involved running 'regedit' and modifying 'setup.exe' located under '/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/Setup/Status/ChildCompletion.' I changed the data value from 1 to 3.
    2. Another issue occurred: 'Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation. Error.'
      • I solved this problem by performing the following steps:
        • Pressing (Shift + F10) on the keyboard.
        • Typing '(cd %windir%/system32/oobe/)'.
        • Typing '(msoobe)'.
      After executing these steps, the PC restarted but became stuck on the 'Just a Moment' screen indefinitely.
    I attempted the reset process twice using local reset rather than a cloud download, and both times encountered the same two issues.

    I also tried resetting the PC once while keeping the files. Although the reset was successful, I encountered the 'defaultuser0' issue.

    No hardware swapped. The PC ran Windows 11 without any issue. I just had to reset it before selling.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!"

    Windows 11 Infinite Black Screen Loop After Failed Windows 10 Reset

    Hi everyone,

    I am reaching out for assistance due to a challenging issue with my Windows 11 system, which is currently stuck in an infinite loop of a black screen with spinning circles. This issue arose unexpectedly after an attempt to reset my Windows 10 system on a separate disk failed, suggesting that the reset operation inadvertently impacted my primary Windows 11 system.

    Here's a detailed breakdown of the events leading to the current problem:

    • My setup includes two hard drives: Disk A with Windows 11 (my primary system) and Disk B with Windows 10.
    • I encountered a DLL file missing error on Windows 10 (Disk B) and after unsuccessful attempts to fix it through runtime library installations and the SFC command, I decided to reset the Windows 10 system via the settings, choosing to reset only the system disk to avoid affecting other drives. Unfortunately, the reset failed.
    • Subsequently, attempting to boot into Windows 11 on Disk A resulted in a blue screen error related to the NTFS file system on the first attempt, followed by an automatic repair on the second attempt. After the repair, the system now persistently shows a black screen with spinning circles, unable to proceed to the login screen.
    Additional details and steps taken:

    • Through the Troubleshoot options, I can access CMD and open Notepad, confirming that the disks are accessible.
    • I have created a Windows installation USB drive and attempted its repair functions without success.
    • My setup involves two monitors, with the BIOS and system defaulting to monitor A, but Windows set to display only on monitor B. Post-issue, the system disconnects from monitor A and attempts to load on monitor B, indicating partial loading of Windows configurations.
    It seems the reset attempt on Windows 10 has unexpectedly affected the Windows 11 system on the other disk. Given the steps I've already taken without success, I am seeking your expert advice on how to resolve this infinite loading issue and recover access to my Windows 11 system.

    Any suggestions, guidance, or recommended steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
