Currently I believe I have corrupted drivers since the only way to login to windows is by disabling driver signature enforcement.
I can't use safe mode, or system restore, and sfc /scannnow can't fix the corrupted files.
So my question is, will a system reset with the option to keep files fix the corrupted drivers?
Edit: I upgraded my pc from windows 8.1 to windows 10, then installed the anniversary update. Will a reset keep windows 10 with the anniversary update?
1 Answer
Essentially yes.
As described here, what a system reset does is restore a Windows installation to factory default:
Windows 10 includes a “Reset your PC” option that quickly restores Windows to its factory default configuration. It’s faster and more convenient than reinstalling Windows from scratch or using your manufacturer’s recovery partition.
How Resetting Your PC Works
When you use the “Reset this PC” feature in Windows, Windows resets itself to its factory default state. If you purchased a PC and it came with Windows 10 installed, your PC will be in the same state you received it in. All the manufacturer installed software and drivers that came with the PC will be reinstalled. If you installed Windows 10 yourself, it will be a fresh Windows 10 system without any additional software.
You can choose whether you want to keep your personal files or erase them. However, all your installed programs and settings will be erased. This ensures you have a fresh system. Any problems caused by third-party software, system file corruption, system settings changes, or malware should be fixed by resetting your PC.
Windows reset will put the software back into the same condition as it was when you started it for the very first time (such as when you purchased the PC).
The process of PC resetting has been explained:
Resetting your Windows 8 PC goes like this:
The PC boots into the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE).
Windows RE erases and formats the hard drive partitions on which Windows and personal data reside.
Windows RE installs a fresh copy of Windows.
The PC restarts into the newly installed copy of Windows.
In these instances it is evident that the process even takes care of odd drivers, replacing with factory configured settings and software and may help rid of unwanted drivers.
Some important things worth noting:
Reset option resets to default or original installation i.e if the factory installed OS was Windows 8, after reset that what you get to use, (perhaps this may be overcome by using a specific OS disk - but I am not 100% sure)
Windows 10 uses driver signature enforcement, so the drivers must be signed and certified with a Microsoft compliant signatures, otherwise the drivers won't load.
