Fortunately, I got out of a big trouble!

A short success story you would like to read that is based on my recent experience.

I decided to factory reset my Windows 10 HP laptop as it was running slow. I am not very good in updating laptop software but I thought doing it. I backed up all my data in the portable hard disk.

I started the process of resetting my PC and it was going good but after two and half hours it got stuck at 64% and the status was same for next six hours. It was showing 64% only.

I referred a few YouTube videos. One video suggested to wait for hours and days which I did not think right. Another video suggested to shut down the machine.

I shut down the machine keeping my fingers crossed. The laptop started but showed a blank screen.

Now, I was completely stuck as I had no other option but to visit the authorized HP service center nearby.

I was cursing myself why did I even think of resetting my PC.

My daughter's class will get affected. My office work will be badly affected if my laptop did not start working immediately. I did not have a second laptop.

I referred one more video in which the YouTuber asked me to switch on and switch off the laptop for 2-3 times continuously. I thought to try it but was skeptical that I may destroy the hardware too. I will have to face more problems in that situation.

But I took the big risk and suddenly to my surprise the laptop showed me the screen which said,

"Loading and starting your Windows 10."

Oh, Thank God. I took a deep breath and felt that I have achieved the unachievable. It took me another three hours to complete the laptop set-up.

Now, the machine is up and running great.

I would like to thank God and the YouTubers of course, without them it wouldn't be possible. I also thank my presence of mind at that time that made me to complete the task successfully.

I did not lose hope and that is the whole point.

Hope you enjoyed reading the story.
