Hello. I'VE A QUESTION ABOUT TIME 1:08 . I've win 8.1. I've C and D partition. Partition D: has System Volume Information folder and recycle bin. I want to reset pc (to win8.0) ... should I delete D drive files? (There are 2 options. Only c or all drives) I want to still have the factory reset option in the future... And clean pc (delete many restore points, and files) What should I do? I don't know if delete D: (whete is system volume information) its important to make factory reset in the future...

[@gettinjiggy]

Mine doesn’t wanna reset, it just says “undoing changes” n goes back to normal

[@georgewhitworth9742]

So question, would the reset keep the Asus stuff? I'm just looking to get rid of most of the gaming files and around 300 to 400GB of files that I can't seem to find the source of, and would like to completely start fresh with my gaming laptop like the day I first got it.

[@LIN4EN]

Hey Bradley, what exactly do you mean with the Asus stuff? If you would like to completely start fresh like the day you first got it. Then a factory reset is exactly what you want to do. But if you mean with "Asus stuff" the profiles you created for Armoury crate or similar applications. This will be deleted, except you have an online account you can login to. And its saved in your account. Like nvidia geforce experience or similar programs. Thanks for your question

[@designerprathvi]

Thanks Sir 👍

[@eman6784]

Will the reset have the same settings and programs the day I have bought it? I would like to keep my armoury crate and MyAsus

[@LIN4EN]

Hey Emmanuel, yes it will be reset to the same settings when you have bought it. Armoury crate will be still installed.

I need more help after my brother done a driver booster update my keyboard doesn’t work so I couldn’t do this please help

[@bjgmotors3213]

Hi sir, I am having issues with the programs used to have the laptop before I reset windows, (my armoury crate, nvidia panel, xbox app, my asus, etc) I had to reset my ASUS F17 due to BIOS problems. I thought once I reset the windows, would have the same configuration in the laptop, but it was not... also all drivers and controllers ares disabled, my TouchPad is not working and I don't know why but WIFI is not available, so I cannot connect by wifi, just using ethernet wire. I just followed the procedure that ASUS has to reset windows... My question is How is it possible to get the laptop with the configuration that it had when I bought the first time? I mean with the applications already downloaded, Nvidia Geforce working correctly? Please help meeee

[@LIN4EN]

Hey BJGMotors, wow thats interesting. Thats exactly for what the factory reset is for. I am very surprised that you still have issues after the reset. Did something occur during the reset? like an unexpected restart or any sorts of interruptions? How many times did you try to do a factory reset? Just in case i would try it a second time if there was going something wrong the first time. Keep me updated i am sure we can figure it out together. Cheers L!N4

sorry i am not speaking your language, possible to ask in german or engl?

[@tigreonice2339]

Si te ocurrio despues de restablecer el pc (reset pc) tienes que ir a regedit y cambiar el FeatureTestControl (buscalo con ctrl+F). Cambias su valor 0x0000f000 por el valor 0x0000FFFF Despues de ello reinicia el pc y se te verá la pantalla con brillo

I want to sell my laptop, and of course I wanna get rid of my personal info and data, will this reset the device as the day I bought it? With armoury crate and the Asus applications that came preinstalled, but not leaving my personal files and Microsoft account preloaded?

[@LIN4EN]

Hey Ezemonch, yes your laptop will be in default mode like you bought it. But if you have sensible information on the PC i would research for a better clean up. I guess there a certain ways with recovery programs to restore old files.

After Resetting the laptop does the windows install itself automatically or wehave to install it ourselves ?

[@LIN4EN]

During the the reset process windows will install itself. At least its the experience i made so far. And i resettet quite a few in my company :)

[@mikwns3722]

hi I need to do a factory reset on my Asus will this also delete my Microsoft email from the machine

[@nickjohnson964]

You’ll have to redownload ur email app, but all of your emails are cloud saved u less you manually deleted them. If you’re talking about saved files on ur pc, u either have to email them to urself or save them into a google drive if you want to have them after a hard reset

[@ninamartinez47]

Hellos sir, i’m having an issue with my laptop I went to turn it on and it is stuck on the BIOS Utility screen. I have no clue how it got there I just turned it on and it was on that screen. I’ve tried a lot of different things to fix it and get off of the screen. Ex: saving and exiting(F10), turn the laptop on and off, and restarting it. But nothing seems to work

[@LIN4EN]

Hi Nina, sorry for the late reply. During Christmas i was not on my PC. Hope you had a great christmas aswell. Now to your problem. Its interesting, i did not come across a similar issue yet. Can you tell me what are the settings in your Bios in regards to "booting"? Disable Fast Boot and set your system drive as the primary option (is the first you should check out). Let me know what you can figure out.

[@fabianwerkhoven2036]

My on/of btton is not owrking how do i start and reset it?

[@LIN4EN]

Hey Fabian, I had once the same problem. Does your Laptop have an external battery which you are able to remove? If so please remove it and hold your on/off button pressed for 10seconds. This will reset your internal Battery. This helped me to get my Laptop back running again.

Sir am having problems with ma rog strix g15 which only the keyboard light up and i can hear the fan is running and all but the screen is completely black and won't turn on kinda stay there for ever plz help

[@LIN4EN]

Hey Akshay Pradeep Krishnan. So whenever this happens, the first thing you can try is press the Windows logo key , the Ctrl key, the Shift key and B at the same time. This will reset the connection so that the operating system regains the display. Once finished, check to see if you get the normal display back on your Asus laptop. If its not going to work, try to connect a seperated screen on your HDMI out, to see if you receive anykind of signal from your graphicscard.

[@akshaypradeepkrishnan7335]

@@LIN4EN didn't worked nd i don't have an HDMI cable with me nd also I can't buy it right nw because of lockdown in my state

[@LIN4EN]

@@akshaypradeepkrishnan7335 hey Akshay thats sad to hear. Its either your cables going to the screen. Which can be damaged when the laptop lid gets often folded. Or the graphiccard is not sending any information. Do you have a friend you can ask to borrow a cable. So you could atleast try if you receive any video output through your video out? Have you reset your pc recently?

[@akshaypradeepkrishnan7335]

@@LIN4EN I guess the problem is with the RAM cause i saw this same issue happening for G17 models on youtube it's been only 14 days am using this lap nd this happened hmm I can't check using HDMI cus i don't have one nd also due to covid lockdown Asus service center is closed.

[@LIN4EN]

@@akshaypradeepkrishnan7335 Hey Akshay, did you buy the laptop new? If its just 14 days old you obvisiouly have your warrant. Not sure in which country you are living but i am living currently in New Zealand. Asus Service Center in Auckland is working. Because you bought the product probably not in New Zealand you will have to pay for the shipping cost but they should definitely repair this issue. Downside will be it will take probably 2-4 Weeks until you will get your laptop back.
