I’m trying to reset my Surface but got stuck on 2% processing and long time nothing increases in percentage....What to do??

Hey man I went to factory reset my surface pro but there was a storm and the power went out now there is an error and it won’t redownload the windows I don’t know how to reconnect it to wifi to get it to finish the download

How come they dont remember your password after restarting? is it because the password was also wiped? Also, how long did it take you to reset?

After I choose fully clean the drive a massage appears to me (There was a problem while resetting your PC) and it won't reset!!!

Thx a lot , you save my day ! Cheers from France

Does this also remove the operating system? Or just files?

Thank, you helped a lot!

Do you rrally need a wired keyboard.?? Can i not use the regular surface keyboard

so i got locked out of my surface because i moved from the school that my microsoft account was attached to, so my microsoft account was blocked. I did everything that the video says so, but when I reach the “Reset this PC” part and click “Remove Everything”, I’m asked to “enter the recovery key to get going again”. I went to the link that it asks me to go to on my phone, and I enter my new microsoft account that I just made, but it doesn’t provide me with any recovery key.

What if it says insert your windows installation or recovery media and restart PC?

Worked like a charm

So how long did it take to completely reset it? One hour or something?

MIne says "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click OK to restart the computer and then restart the installation." I press the Ok button and the same pop-up is coming, again and again, any suggestions?

I reset the surface but windows didn't reinstall. It just loops now. It turns on and goes to a blue screen with 2 windows 10 install options that says choose operating system and then goes back to the surfacee black page again looping. What am I doing wrong? Everything seems fine but windows is not reloading after I reset the tablet. Please help. 🙏

It says "Insert installation media" so it's not working.

This helped...thank you so much :)

very helpful, thanks alot

What do I do if it says the restart didn’t work and it nothing changed to the pc

Hi, I need help with pro 4. My tablet is locked out and is bitlocker locked. How can I factory reset if I don't remember both ?

Does this apply to my Pro 3 as well with Windows 10? I just purchased a used Surface Pro 3 and the previous owner did not restore it to factor, they just deleted their info.

Thanks for you 🥰

This really helped thanks

Thank you so much sir!!!

Its asking me how would i like to reinstall Windows? How should i proceed?

1:42 NO! I follwed thse steps exactly before even watching this and "'the reset process does NOT begin' - Instead it keeps asking for a "recovery password" which I don't have.

Thank you !! :)

How can I reset my Surface Pro

My surface is stuck in a loop from the windows 10 download. I can't get to the menu is there a way to still reset?

Thanks Buddy

When I get to the blue screen it says to enter the recovery ID what do I do from there??

Would this remove the tracking off my surface

I don’t have a power button next to my ease of use button - why not and then what should I do?

Hey I really need help! I forgot my password and my email address, so I wrote so many passwords and now my Surface Pro 4 is blocked so when I select the option "Remove Everything" a message ask me for a recovery password and I don't know it so I choose Skip this and then a message that say "An error has occurred" appears I don't know what else can I do and I really need help. Please!!

Thanks man 👨

The system asked me for the recovery key but I don’t have it.

How is it full reset/complete ssd wipe if u dont need a pendrive to install windows from it? Win10 is on ROM or what?

Mine is not showing the repare mode

Reset PC isn’t an option. It has UEFI firmware settings. it says, it needs recovery tools. Please help me. thanks

i'm thinking of buying one on ebay.. i'm not entirely sure if it is safe.. let's say the seller has not done anything to reset the surface and when you get it, you find that you would need login information from the buyer. Is there a way to reset the device without knowing any login information? Is it possible the reason the seller didn't reset the surface is because it was stolen? Anything suggestions of what I can do to protect myself would be appreciated...

The reset PC option is NOT there for me . Please, help!

I think you Surface is new surface pro NOT surface pro 4 isn't it?

Why is yours so fast? Mine takes a while to load between steps?

I need help, I did what the video did. But it asks for a recovery key.

Reset PC isn’t an option. It has UEFI firmware settings. Any advice?

Mine says enter recovery key to get going again (keyboard layout:us). I don't know what to do next, because I can't find the recovery key.

I don't have that power option

Just pulled the ultimate prank

How do I factory reset a Surface Book with UEFI PASSWORD?

mine says to enter a recovery key

Thanks 👍🏻

This is windows 10 reset and NOT Surface Pro RESET with factory loaded image. There is lot of difference.

Its surface 5 :)

How did this have dislikes

...this is not the good way, it's a Surface 4 not RT model. You need to create a Windows 10 bootable key and install Windows 10, same as a PC installation. Thumb down.

thank you

Hi to everyone, I'm going to report here a strange situation that happened to me and hope that someone would be able to explain what might have happened. I have a Surface Pro4 since about 5 years and since the last 2 ,5 years it started to have problems with its battery autonomy. It discharged very rapidly although I had it previously charged at 100%. Sometimes it lasted only 15 minutes without having to plug it for charging it again. Since I use it now and then, I started to use it always plugged to the socket wall. Now comes the strange part ... Last week I use it twice and in one occasion I connected the charging cable to the tablet, as always, turned it on but I forgot to plug it to the socket wall and when I realised it, it had passed 45 minutes and it didn't had shutdxown. I immediatly checked the charging duration of battery and it showed me there was still 60% of battery charge left before it would shutdown. Can anyone please explain what might have been initially the problem that caused it to discharged so quickly and why did it regained now again the capacity of using it without having to constantly plug it to the socket wall? Thank you, I would appreciate any answer

Lame....
