I am in thr process of resetting my desktop computer to factory settings.
The problem is it's been two days of loading, stuck at 99%.
Should I force shutdown or unplug my computer? Or should I keep waiting.

@Knightshun -- does your computer's case have a lamp that lights-up whenever the disk-drive is active, i.e., to indicate that the "reset" is still working the disk-drive? If the lamp is never on, I would hold down the on/off button until the computer powers off. Then, restart it, to see if the process did complete.

It's good that the above worked for you.
