First time I factory reset my computer it cailed and said "Undoing changes" as it did that it brought up my login screen. I go to login but now I am locked out behind an Error that persists with User Profile service Failed. So I go to factory reset again. It does the same thing. Undoes the changes and says that same error. I go for the third time but this time it is to fully wipe the computer. Gets stuck at 46% for 2 hours and then fails. Still the same error. I have been following guifes to do stuff in safe mode, but as I login to safe mode I am met with a blank white canvas, and cannot access anything at all. The window key + R or X does not work at all. I would like to fix this ASAP, it has been stressing me out. I don't know what to do.

2024-10-09T02:44:23+00:00 I see, please try this instead:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
Go to the File menu at the top and select Run new task.
Type explorer.exe and press Enter.
Can you access the Settings or Services?
