Windows 10: Windows won’t boot after Reset This PC failed

The computer was having major performance issues, to the point of almost being unusable. So I tried to perform a reset while keeping personal files. I don’t know if this is what caused things to go awry, but when it automatically initiated a restart after downloading Windows from the cloud, it said “Working on updates” on the restart screen.

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

 

Windows 10 "Reset this PC" failed upon final boot.

Hi Cathy,

Failing to reset the PC may happen due to several reasons. To isolate your issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Were you able to boot using the ISO file that you downloaded?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

When booting the PC using USB recovery tool, please make sure that the first boot source in your PC's BIOS is the USB drive and not the hard drive. It is best to re-download the ISO file to make sure that you have the latest version.
