I need to reinstall Windows 10 on my computer and I've heard that it can be done using a USB drive. However, I'm not entirely sure about the steps involved in creating a bootable USB and then using it to reinstall the OS. Could someone please provide a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to reinstall Windows 10 from USB? Here are a few specific questions I have: What tools do I need to create a bootable USB drive? How do I prepare the USB drive for the installation? What are the steps to follow during the installation process? Possible to keep the files and apps during reinstallation? Thanks for your help!8.1KViews0likes13CommentsHow to reset windows 10 password without losing data?
Hey everyone, Windows 10 asks me changing the password a couple of time sin one year. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the login password to my admin account since last change and currently locked out. I have a lot of important files and applications C drive, so I'm trying to find a way to reset Windows 10 password without losing any data. I've seen various methods online, but I'm hesitant to try them without knowing if they're safe and won't result in data loss. Does anyone have experience with this situation?

Any advice on tools or methods that are particularly user-friendly for non-tech savvy individuals would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Tech Community, Recently, I discovered that Windows Hello Facial Recognition is either disabled or removed from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 (21H2), and after a skim of the archives, could not find any method to install Windows Hello to these devices. Q: Are/Is the device(s) in question compatible with Windows Hello Facial Recognition? A: They are by the OEM, claiming that an IR module is specifically installed in each unit with compatibility guaranteed. Q: Are/Is the device(s) in question using the correct Windows Hello Facial Recognition-compatible driver? A: The drivers have been installed in full, and Windows prompts users to set up Windows Hello Facial Recognition rather than reporting that no compatible device is installed. Q: Are/Is the device(s) in question affected by any OEM/user modifications which could inhibit Windows Hello's ability to function properly? A: Microsoft Edge has been uninstalled (using the built-in uninstaller bundled with LTSC 2021) from the device(s), however no non-standard (including Enterprise-specific) settings/programs have been altered outside of that. Q: What issue is occurring when attempting to configure Windows Hello Facial Recognition on the device(s)? A: The introduction to Windows Hello Facial Recognition simply force-stops/crashes when Get Started is pressed, as if an application is not present. This may also be a missing Universal Windows Program (.uwp), as no other UWPs are present in this install, as far as I'm aware. My question to you: Is it possible to install or repair Windows Hello (the combined package, preferably) to this installation of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC? Thank you, Makeineer3.2KViews0likes3CommentsLet us choose device/PC name during Windows installation
Currently after we install Windows, we have to go to settings and change PC name and then perform another restart. so if Windows would let user choose a custom PC/device name, instead of randomly generating one, it would be more convenient.

When a game is being downloaded, and then I drag its icon from "recently added" list of Start menu and drop it on Start menu to make a tile out of it and Pin it there, it will be a blank icon and have no content after game Is finished downloading and installed. it will still launch the game, but it's just blank. if I unpin it and pin the game icon again, it will still have a blank icon on Start menu tiles and app list on start menu. if you can reproduce this issue, please add your details to the feedback: https://aka.ms/AAan0fk (this has been happening in the Beta channel, Dev channel FE and RS releases.)852Views0likes0CommentsDisabling mod installation for a game shouldn't require us to download the whole game again
After enabling mods for games, e.g. Halo MCC, and then when we want to disable it, we need to download the whole game again (120GB). this is a crazy requirement, and shouldn't happen. we should be able to enable mod installation for a game, use our mods, then when we are done with it, go back to the original state without having to reinstall the whole game again. Xbox app should be able to VERIFY game files and if needed, replace any files, or get rid of files that shouldn't be in the game folder. upvote this feedback in feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAal5by1.3KViews0likes2CommentsUinstalling programs should be handled from within the Settings app, not control panel
Uinstalling programs should be handled from within the Settings app, not control panel Right-clicking on non-store programs (such as those installing from websites, basically Win32 programs) in start menu should launch that program's uninstaller instead of opening control panel. right now what is happening is that the control panel is opened then nothing else. user must go and find the program from the list, click on uninstall and continue from there. this all should be handled with the Settings app and right-clicking on any program on start menu and choosing "uninstall" should launch that program's uninstaller right away. whether that program is a Win32 app or UWP app. Upvote this feedback to support it: https://aka.ms/AA6p782919Views1like0Comments
