Hi,
If you wait at least two hours and nothing happens by then, do you force a restart?
If it's still stuck after restarting, you'll have to use the USB method. Do you know how to do that?
Thanks

2025-12-29T12:22:16.48+00:00 If your Windows device is stuck at 100% during a reset, it may be due to several reasons, including issues with the recovery image, hardware problems, or software conflicts. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Wait a bit longer: Sometimes, the reset process can take longer than expected, especially if there are large amounts of data to process.
- Force a restart: If it remains stuck for an extended period, you can try to force a restart by holding down the power button until the device shuts off, then turn it back on.
- Use recovery options: If the device does not boot up properly after a restart, you may need to access recovery options. You can do this by turning on the device and immediately pressing the F8 key (or Shift + F8) repeatedly until you see the recovery menu. From there, you can select troubleshooting options to reset or repair your PC.
- Check for hardware issues: Ensure that all hardware components are functioning correctly, as hardware failures can also cause the reset process to hang.
- Consider a clean installation: If the reset continues to fail, you may need to perform a clean installation of Windows using installation media.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consult with Microsoft support or a professional technician for further assistance.
