I tried to Factory Reset my computer and it failed 3 times, and now I can't login.

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.

    When you see two Windows 10 options at startup, it usually means there are multiple boot records on your system. This can happen if you've installed Windows multiple times without formatting. For a permanent fix, I suggest that you reinstall Windows. Please refer to my previous response for the steps.

    NOTE: If you have multiple partitions listed, select each one (starting at the bottom), then click delete until there is only a single (one) unallocated drive displayed in the window. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/for...

    Thank you.

    So... its working, but when i went to restart the pc it just froze at the restart loading screen, so i just held down the power button, when it cane back on it asked me for volume 2 and volume 6 again. I chose volume 2. Am i choosing correctly? And if so, is there a way to remove that screen???
