Windows 10 factory reset stuck, reaches 98% then drops back to 64%?

Hi,

 

I have an Acer ZC-700G getting stuck on a factory reset?

 

It reaches 98% completion then the computer restarts and the factory reset goes back to starting at 64%.

(When it restarts it also bleeps, makes a bleep sound).

 

This repeats over and over never moving beyond this point.

 

Is there a way to get around this cliché?

 

Thanks,

 

John

have you tried to run the factory reset from boot?

 

press Alt+F10 at boot

 

or you can create a windows 10 vanilla installation media and then download the drivers/application from Acer support website:

Thanks for the suggestions!

 

I did find the Alt F-10 option and tried it but nothing on it worked.

 

I have opted for installing from a Windows 10 bootable DVD I made back when it was available as a free download.

 

I was hoping to avoid doing this since it will make the originally installed OS obsolete.

 

I will look into the link you provided for another solution.

 

Thanks!
