    So what should I do if I perhaps screw up with using the cloud option and now I can't do anything but go into bios utility which I tried stuff in for hours and got nothing, or look at a pop up that just restarts my PC and sends me back right to it because it can't install windows 11 itself again

    Very helpful video, thank you. Days ago I took my brand new computer out of the box. Not knowing any better I set up a Microsoft account. Wish I had done a local account. I know that I can create a local account. But, I'm just really wanting to go back in time and start all over. That's a big lead into the question I really want to ask. Whether programs that came with the computer out of the box, that if I do a reset I will lose? For instance, I don't want to find out that I now have to download a driver or software for my Wi-Fi. Really wanting to get this back as if I just took it out of the box. Thoughts? Thanks.

      @joaosimoessilva Před 5 měsíci

      I believe some programs do disappear. I remember restarting an Acer that I had and losing all the pre-installed apps that come with it. But, right now, I have a Lenovo and I have already restarted it and didn't lose the Lenovo Vantage App that came with it (I think the NVIDIA one also didn't disappear). So I would say it depends on the Computer and on the Apps that come with it.

Most modern malware will lie dormant utilizing process streams of comman non threatening procesess waiting for a way to exploit some vulnerability. They will live off the land using powershell scripts and cmdlets traversing horizontally rather than vertically. Moving around your system poly morphing it’s functions leaving back doors in file structures and adding unsigned legit drivers and certificates waiting for you to reboot and then it deploys a scsi accessible ram docks partion using ras telephony systems to deploy their command and control system that is often multi faceted tied using sql servers to harvest everything you are doing from keystrokes to watching for pornhub activities replacing your windows and browsers and explorers with fake ones. All while your anti virus program still stinks it is safe and yet your one click away from some sort of ransomewar payload or blackmail messages that looks like they are coming from your email to you but threaten to release the cam footage if you don’t send some but coin.
      And no, no amount of windows resets is gonna get rid of that malware. Only an experience hunter that can reverse engineer the flagged presses streams and try to find the code in memory and then try to write a program to attack and kill the malware.

    I made a huge mistake when I registered my Windows 10. Will resetting to factory settings (with a total removal) allow me to correct those errors?
