I've been trying to reset my Samsung laptop for hours now.
There's no important data on it because I have had a new device for a long time, but I wanted to reset the notebook and see if it works better because the notebook no longer recognizes USB sticks.
When I tried to reset the device in the settings, I received the error message: "Problem when resetting the PC"
What I've already tried: in the advanced start options
cd% windir% \ system32 \ config
ren system system.bak
ren software software.bak
Are your USB ports broken or why no more USB stick?
:-)
The reset often fails… But you can do a new installation as an alternative. 😊
Load the ISO of Win 10 with the https://www.microsoft.com/.../windows10 onto a USB stick (8GB) and boot from the stick.
You have now noticed that there's no better way.
Resetting does not solve any problems - it also does not speed up a computer.
It doesn't even delete data securely if you want to sell the computer on.
Just leave it in the future. This function is worth nothing.
If the computer no longer recognizes USB sticks, the problem is already bad - after all, it can be due to the USB ports themselves, because they are wear parts per excellence.
The only thing that occurs to me would be to try whether an external USB-DVD drive is recognized - in the hope that only sticks will not be recognized.
Then you could create a DVD installation disc and reinstall Windows 10 from it.
Otherwise you have m. E. Produced a nice pile of electronic waste.
Unfortunately, it does little if USB sticks are not recognized.
Let's hope optical drives work.
Without access to the destroyed event viewer, this should be difficult to answer. But who knows… 😉
Unfortunately I couldn't fix it. But I do not think that they are defective because the USB sticks are recognized in the device manager
So the sticks are recognized in the device manager (or as it is called) but only as a drive. They are not shown to me in File Explorer
Then create a USB stick with Windows 10 on it and reinstall Windows.
Oops, I read it very carefully.
Hmm, if USB sticks don't work, could you try a self-burned DVD if the laptop has a DVD at all?
But then it should also be an 8.5 GB (not the standard 4.7) …
Nope. If they were recognized as a drive, they would be visible in Windows Explorer. You are confusing the terms. 😉
The device manager only shows: "There's a device and possibly which one".
Do you look in the file manager
In computer management, it shows the stick as an unknown device on other devices
OK. - I'm quite right in assuming that Windows 10 was not shot on the device so that it no longer works.
In short: can you boot and look up or do you quote from memory?

If the USB port is not broken, it will be recognized in the manager.
Probably just the stick was not created correctly or not set in the boot order.
Is the USB port not broken, is it recognized in the manager?!
Probably just the stick was not created correctly or not set in the boot order.
You write above: "Resetting does not solve any problems - it also does not speed up a computer". - I don't agree with you there.
Since my PC had slowed down recently and it got stuck again and again, I performed a Win10 recovery 9 days ago, option: "Remove everything".
It took 70 minutes. - After that the Win10 was reinstalled like new. - It was a good decision.
It is not possible to say from a distance why this did not work for the questioner.
This "acceleration effect" is at best an esothering gut feeling that occurs immediately after the new installation. When you start to reinstall your programs you will quickly be back in the "speed situation" you were in before.
I can tell that this is the case with you, that you do not consider the reinstallation of your programs in your calculations.
It takes a lot more than 70 minutes to get everything back the way it was.
In short: invested a lot of time for little (if any) effect.
In addition: professionals would have had backups on hand for Windows problems.
As you argue, it can be assumed that you have no experience with Win10 recovery yet.
The PC now behaves exactly as it did after the last classic Win10 installation that I carried out in March 2018: the quirks are gone and the system no longer has the previous inertia even after the programs have been installed.
That was exactly the goal of Win10 recovery.
I don't believe in esotericism. For me, the logic that is based on the laws of mathematics and physics counts.
