System Restore from boot menu/ setup utility? [[Solved](/forum/windows-11/solved)/Closed]




 Hello,
  

  
How do I do a system restore from the boot menu or setup utility?
  

  
My computer will only open up to the HP invent screen, and it only gives me three options:
  

  
Press <Esc> to change Boot order
  
Press <F10> to enter setup
  
<F12> to boot from LAN
  

  
I have tried pressing the F8 option and all of that but it won't start up any more than that one black screen.
  

  
Is there any way I can do a System Restore from any of these places? 
  

  
I am completely lost and have no Idea what to do!
  

  
**System Configuration:** Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

hope this will work.
1. go to windows 8 start screen and launch store.
2. once store opens, right-click in empty space and you'll get an option at top to access "your apps" as shown in following screenshot:
3. click on it and it'll ask to sign in. sign in using your windows live id. it'll take a few moments and will show a screen containing list of built-in apps which have been uninstalled.
4. just click on the apps which you want to restore and then click on "install" button given at the bottom.
5. that should do it. it will take a few seconds and the selected apps will be installed again in your windows. re-flash bios using usb stick if you can get that far.
if not reset option and steps like clearing cmos and pins.?
new mobo or try manufacturer.. you need to change the boot order so it checks the HDD before the floppy, cdrom etc...



btw a new pc means you will have to reinstall windows maybe the boot disk partition be cleared. you can disable emmc in bios then install a pure windows in ssd. enable emmc after the windows installed. when you go into "control panel" and remove the driver, on the same screen, you should have the option to install the driver and let windows search for it for you. Find and push the "reset button" thanks guys for your advice.

the problem was the order which i was doing things in. it was much simpler than everything i posted before. i summarize it all for everybody wanting to remove swap partition after upgrading to fedora 33.

boot up your computer normally.

disable swap partition:

# swapo… the softest way to power down the system is using the gui or:

systemctl poweroff

the second one is:

shutdown --halt now

and then pressing the power button lightly.

[how to reboot / t…](https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-turn-off-your-frozen-computer-reisub/124762/1) it has always been installed on my e drive with all of my games, but you gave me an idea and i might use the uninstall exe file that steam has to uninstall it, and then just reinstall it back into the drive.

so interestingly enough, apparently all it took was installing it into the same place it already was and i guess it just identified itself along with windows during the installation because now everything with it is fixed. thanks for the help! pat, sorry to read about your notebook issue.  be assured that i have been monitoring this post and see that you have received very helpful input.  if you're not able to duplicate the memtest86 hit, you may want to scan for "infections" as andre s. recommends.  however, along with malwarebytes, i would also run tdsskiller and combofix.   after doing this and the laptop still freezes, you may want to contact hp's excellent elite premier support team at 866 625-1175, especially if this model is still under warranty.  you also may want to pm me with the product number, serial number so i can get a case started for you or so we can discuss some hp options if out of warranty.
