    Hey please reply the last time on Whether my decision is right or not. As I don't have any serious problem.

    You have already been advised a million times. It isn't our problem if you do not trust.

    Actually I had a padlock icon on my taskbar a few days ago when it was causing trouble. So will it get fixed after resetting. I will reset my laptop tomorrow.

    Good Day MonikaSrivastava1,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

    This may depends how fast your computer and the speed of your internet. Instead of Resetting your computer, you can perform Repair install, this will repair and replace any corrupted system files in your computer. This is the same as resetting your computer.

    Step 1: Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Click “Download Tool Now”

    Step 2: Run MediaCreationTool.exe.

    Step 3: Choose "Upgrade this PC now".

    Step 4: Select "Keep personal files and apps". or Remove Everything

    Step 5: Let it install

    If you choose to Keep your files and apps, those will be restored in your computer, if your choose to Remove everything all files and apps you installed will be wipe out.

    Don't use your computer while on the process of repair install to prevent interruptions.

    I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.
