Reminder to keep replies respectful, or don't reply at all. People asking for help shouldn't be met with any kind of hostility/disrespectful sarcasm be it through text, images, gifs, etc. for asking their question.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 3:49 AM

but yes @CallsignPanzer can you explain how you wiped your PC?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 3:49 AM

because there's a few different definitions, and doing them wrong or for the wrong reason can break pretty much everything

Gguninvalid? more like stupidvali but yes @CallsignPanzer can you explain how you wiped your PC?

Ive mainly used the windows recovery in the settings both with and without keeping my files, cloud and local download and ive done advanced startup too

so why are you trying to wipe your PC?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 4:09 AM

or actually, what are you trying to accomplish? or what problem are you trying to fix?

My has refused to recognize new drivers/wont download new drivers for devices, some devices drivers will just stop existing in their respective folders, and as of today it will not recognize the external storage devices i have, im trying to wipe my pc in the hopes that resetting it will fix the issue

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 4:13 AM

that kinda sounds like you need to reinstall yea

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 4:14 AM

have you already backed up your data? is there still data you need to retrieve?

CallsignPanzerOP•9/22/25, 4:18 AM

i have, but i am about to do another one just in case

CallsignPanzerOP•9/22/25, 4:18 AM

but the other issue is when i try to wipe, it bluescreens

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 4:41 AM

you're definitely doing it wrong

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 4:41 AM

look up a guide on how to reinstall windows, you should be able to pretty easily find one from microsoft

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/22/25, 4:42 AM

basically you would need an external usb that you can install a windows image onto, then you would boot into that image and follow the install instructions

Codec•9/22/25, 9:12 AM

Well i might be seeing this late

Codec•9/22/25, 9:12 AM

Cant you specify blue screen on what state

Codec•9/22/25, 9:12 AM

Like when you try to boot the iso file

Codec•9/22/25, 9:13 AM

Or when you restart your system

CallsignPanzerOP•9/22/25, 12:53 PM

CCodec Or when you restart your system

CallsignPanzerOP•9/22/25, 12:57 PM

Ok so what you can do

Codec•9/22/25, 1:39 PM

Goto google
Search Rufus
Downlaod its portable version and just download windows from their but if you have an iso of windows already you can skip that part as well

Codec•9/22/25, 1:41 PM

You can also make a bootable usb using rufus as well if windows official one is failing
