Resetting your PC can resolve various issues by restoring system files and settings to their default state. This process often fixes corrupted files or settings that may have been causing problems with accessing folders or devices. When you reset your PC, it can effectively clear out any software conflicts or errors that were impacting performance, which is likely why your laptop started working again after the reset. Additionally, the reset process may have reinstalled necessary drivers or system components that were malfunctioning before.
