What is your product ID?

See if you have cloud restore

If you have cloud recovery you can restore your system using a 64gb flash.
It may take an hour or more to create the recovery USB.

Alternately, download from the MS windows store

 

If you must do a windows 11 reset then try to get into safe mode first.

Click here to see how to start your system in safe mode.

 

You can also run SFC or DISM to fix file corruption while in safe mode.

SFC and DISM are both tools that scan and repair corrupted system files. However, SFC uses a cached version of the files, while DISM uses the internet to download and fix the files.

Try the SFC first and if that gives a message that it cannot fix the problem then try the DISM tool.
