Hello,
I have an HP notebook laptop. I accidentally pressed the F11 key at startup, which triggered the "system recovery"; my password no longer works and the display is zoomed in. Do you know how to disable this mode?
Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    I feel like you've reset the system.
    So you can't open Windows anymore?

    Please press any key to continue the disinfection...

      No, I can't do anything; my password isn't working, so I can't access the office. I can only access the BIOS, and I don't know if there's an option to go back...

        Reset again and if not better, reinstall Windows 10 from an installation media.

        Reinstalling Windows 10 without formatting:

        Follow this tutorial that explains how to install Windows 10: how to install Windows 10.
        All the steps are provided from A to Z with tips at the end to secure Windows 10.

        From a functional computer:

        On the crashed computer:
        If the USB drive doesn’t work, try recreating it with Rufus: how to download Rufus - see this tutorial for details: how to create a Windows installation USB drive
        • Let yourself be guided to install Windows 10.
        • Choose customize (not upgrade)
        • During the partition phase, select the main partition and click next.
        • The installer will tell you that Windows is already present and will offer to move it.
        • Follow the Windows installation procedure using the tutorial mentioned above.


        Do not format.

        Your user data will be copied to the Windows.old folder.

        Once Windows is installed, I recommend following these tips to properly configure and use Windows: Tips after reinstalling Windows.
