Hi everyone, I'm trying to resolve a laptop problem my friend is facing. Most Windows 10 settings are missing, and even creating a new user doesn't solve it. The sfc /scannow tool isn't detecting any issues, cleaning the registry hasn't helped, and I've tried various commands, PowerShell reinstalls, virus scans, but nothing works. I'm looking for alternatives to a full reinstall without completely wiping Windows. Anyone know if this has happened before? What might be causing it and how can I fix it? Any advice would be super helpful!

You can perform a repair installation for Windows, which should restore your files and possibly resolve the problem.

This pattern suggests group policy was likely used on the device.

I've attempted this but haven't managed to get the laptop to accept or start a repair install from a USB. Could you provide a guide I can follow? Also, when checking the group policy editor, everything indicates they're not configured. Is there a specific setting I should verify and ensure is enabled?

The previous reference highlighted the exact configuration to search for, though finding it was difficult—it was noted as a reliable way to match the problem accurately.

Check if the purchase came from your friend personally or if it's provided by their workplace or school. If it's from the organization's domain, they're likely adhering to their guidelines and you shouldn't be granted those permissions.
