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.
