Solving the Unable to Reset Your PC Problem

Solving the Unable to Reset Your PC Problem

by | Dec 20, 2015 | guide

“Mi, can you please check my laptop?” what’s the problem Dy ? “Dead”, that’s what she said. I tried to check the laptop and when I turned it on, Preparing Automatic Repair always appeared. I asked before what she doing before, but she said she didn’t know.

I know that Windows 10 has a feature that makes it easy to repair the OS itself if there are problems without the need for third-party applications, for that I tried to fix it from the Troubleshoot – Advanced options menu, from the 3 options I tried, namely System Restore, Startup Repair and Go back to the previous build, the result still failed.

Finally I tried Troubleshoot – Reset this PC and the result was Unable to Reset Your PC. A required drive partition is missing. I tried browsing to get a solution to the problem, and it finally worked.

Here’s how I did it, still in the Troubleshoot – Advanced options menu, select Command Prompt, after opening the following command type along with press Enter when finished:

 

BOOTREC /SCANOS

BOOTREC /FIXMBR

BOOTREC /FIXBOOT

BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD

To exit, select Exit, the result is that Windows 10 is back to normal, thank God.

 

Connecting Wifi in Windows 10

Connecting Wifi in Windows 10

by | Nov 10, 2015 | guide

Previously I have created a guide for Windows 7 here, next in this article is a guide for Windows 10. Why is there no Windows 8 and 8.1 ? For both Windows, it is not much different from Windows 10. Here’s a guide to connecting to Wi-Fi in Windows 10..

  1. Make sure the status of the Wi-fi icon is enabled, if there is no Wi-fi icon or there is a cross on the systray near the clock then it doesn’t seem to be activated, to make sure it is right-click the LAN icon at the bottom right and select Open Network and Sharing Center.

  1. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Change adapter settings, make sure the Wi-fi to be used is Enabled, if it is still Disabled, right-click the Wi-fi and select Enable, it will change to Enable with an icon like the signal in the systray.

  1. Click the Wi-fi icon then the wireless name / SSID that is visible around will appear, select the SSID, check the Connect automatically check list if you want to connect automatically then click Connect, then a password box will appear, fill in the appropriate password then click Next, automatically if there is no problem with the IP address it will connect to the device, but if it fails to connect, please check further with the device or related parties.

If the wireless name you are looking for does not appear, then it is possible that the wireless name / SSID is hidden, select Hidden Network, click Connect then an SSID box will appear that must be filled in according to what is used (case sensitive), the next way can see the paragraph above. If the connection has been successful then the Wi-fi icon will change.

  1. If you want to delete the SSID due to a connection failure, which can be caused by a change in the password on the SSID, the trick is to click the Wi-Fi icon and select Network settings, scroll down and then click Manage Wi-Fi settings.

  1. Select the SSID you want to remove and then click Forget.

That’s the information I can convey, hopefully I can reconnect the relationship that was disconnected before, wireless, I meant, not the “ehm ehm”, hahaha.

Connecting Wifi in Windows 7

Actually, this method is very easy, but often it turns out that there are still a handful of people who don’t know how to do it, for that I made this article. Oh yes, why is there no guide in Windows XP ? Sorry, I forgot and when I wanted to make it there was no longer a device, so I immediately made it in Windows 7, here’s how:

  1. Make sure the status of the Wi-fi icon is enabled, if there is no Wi-fi icon or there is a cross on the systray near the clock then it doesn’t seem to be activated, to make sure it is right-click the LAN icon at the bottom right and select Open Network and Sharing Center.

  1. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Change adapter settings, make sure the Wi-fi to be used is Enabled, if it is still Disabled, right-click the Wi-fi and select Enable, it will change to Enable with an icon like the signal in the systray.

  1. Click the Wi-fi icon then the wireless name/SSID that is visible around will appear, select the SSID, check the Connect automatically check list if you want to connect automatically then click Connect, then a password box will appear, fill in the appropriate password then click OK, automatically if there is no problem with the IP address it will connect to the device, but if it fails to connect, please check further with the device or related parties.

If the wireless name you are looking for does not appear, then it is possible that the wireless name/SSID is hidden, select Hidden Network, click Connect then an SSID box will appear that must be filled in according to what is used (case sensitive), the next way can see the paragraph above. If the connection has been successful then the Wi-fi icon will change

  1. If you want to remove the SSID due to a connection failure, which can be caused by a change in the password on the SSID, the trick is to click the Wi-fi icon and select Open Network and Sharing Center – Manage wireless networks.

  1. Select the SSID you want to remove then click Remove and select Yes.

That’s the information I can convey, hopefully it can reconnect the relationship that was disconnected before, wireless I mean, not the “ehm ehm” (just kidding).

 

Windows 8 & 8.1 PPPoE Guide

Windows 8 & 8.1 PPPoE Guide

by | Feb 1, 2013 | guide

This guide is similar to the one I have created before here, for the purpose and topology is also the same, only the steps are different. Here’s how PPPoE in Windows 8 & 8.1.

  1. Make sure the Ethernet status is Enabled and the cross (LAN cable please remove first) as shown above, to make sure it right-click the LAN icon at the bottom right and select Open Network and Sharing Center.
  2. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Change adapter settings, make sure the Ethernet to be used is Enabled, if it is still Disabled, right-click the Ethernet and select Enable, it will change to Enable with a cross. If Ethernet does not appear, please make sure that the driver is installed correctly.

  1. Connect the end of the LAN cable to the wall jack) and the other end of the cable to a PC or laptop, the LAN indicator will turn into an exclamation mark, if you still get a cross, you must check the LAN cable and the connected device (port or configuration).

Note: this connection is not related to a pre-configured IP address so a static/dynamic IP is not required, as it will get a new IP address obtained from the ISP, generally in the form of a Public IP.

  1. Back to Network and Sharing Center then click Set up a new connection or Network.

  1. Select Connect to the Internet and then Next.

  1. Select Broadband (PPPoE).

  1. Fill in the username and password provided by the ISP, if you use multiple ISPs, it is recommended that the connection name be given the name of the ISP, then click Connect.

  1. If successful, it will appear as shown in the following image and the LAN indicator has changed to Connected, click Browse the Internet now to start browsing or click Close to close the window, if the image does not appear as below or a certain error appears, you can ask the ISP, until this step the PPPoE guide has been completed.

  1. Don’t forget to disconnect when you’re done so that the connection session doesn’t “hang” from the ISP’s side. For that, click the LAN icon at the bottom right, select the name PPPoE and then click Disconnect.

  1. To make it easier to access the PPPoE next, you can create a shortcut on the Desktop by right-clicking the PPPoE name and then selecting Create Shortcut.

  1. If at some point the Dial-up Connection window appears like the image below, click Settings.

  1. On the Connections tab, select the ISP/PPPoE name and then select Never dial a connection and click OK.

If you are still experiencing slowdowns or inappropriate bandwidth, please contact the relevant ISP. Good luck and a great day.
