Unable to do "Reset" or "Go back" on Windows 11(21H2)
Greetings, I have recently installed Windows insider preview; it is around 20 hours since installation, and it was not working properly so I tried to "Go back", from System>Recovery>Go Back & Restor...
Hello shade001,
This is a known issue atm with build 22000.71. It has been mentioned in this official announcement post:
Reset this PC and Go back buttons in Settings > System > Recovery do not function. Reset and roll back can be accessed from the Windows Recovery Environment by selecting System > Recovery > Advanced startup, and pressing Restart now. Once in Windows Recovery, choose Troubleshoot.
- Choose Reset this PC to perform a reset.
- Choose Advanced options > Uninstall Updates > Uninstall latest feature update to perform a rollback.
Hope this helps!
Update: I figured out an alternative way, to get back to Windows 10 without losing data, thank you for looking into the issue.
For anyone facing the same issue here is the solution:
**Please keep a note of BitLocker recovery key, it will be required in the process. You can find it at aka.ms/myrecoverykey**
1 .Win+L
2. While holding the Shift key, go to the power and click "Restart".
3. Then advance setup menu appears, and there will be a "Troubleshoot" option.
4. Go in Troubleshoot>Uninstall Updates>Uninstall feature update.
5. Then if the uninstall feature update is available you will be able to go back to windows 10.
6. Congratulations! You are now on windows 10:party_popper:
