@@Stulker1369 Reset your computer. Anything you want to keep should first be downloaded to a USB ~ as a safeguard. Then download DuckDuckGo for your search engine and Firefox for your browser. Add Privacy Badger. These work well for me, judging from the amount of bitching I get from some websites trying to get in. There are some other additions you could try, but see how you go with those. They're free to download and install. All the best.

If your system files are corrupted, then the cloud reset would be better. But since you have no way of knowing that your system files are corrupted, you should always use the cloud reset. I mean, of course there are possibilities, but we're talking about the normal user here, not someone who enters commands in cmd just to check whether they can do local or not.

[@MO_8]

I checked and I've some corrupted files, and I want to reset my pc without losing any personal files, would using cloud reset delete any of my files?

@@MO_8 Yes. Cloud and local will reset everything. You need to store all your important files on a USB stick, external hard drive or via a cloud provider such as OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. If you do not store your data somewhere separate from your computer, you risk permanently losing all your data at any time.

Didn't download anything suspicious and ran virus/malware scans and repairs very regularly. When I run the repair (ReImage) it says there is no problems with the stability or anything else and the virus scanner (Spyhunter) shows no viruses/malware. I'm not sure what the problem is. I deleted some apps as I thought the RAM might be under pressure. Didn't help in any way. Windows/laptop keeps crashing every time I open an app (or basically do any little thing such as move a file or go on the web) and then gets stuck on black screen of death. Its unbearable at this stage. This is the last resort now, wish it hadn't come to this but it has. However I will accept it if the laptop works properly after the reset. However if after the reset if the system is still constantly crashing every 10 minutes after login then its curtains :/
