Hi, I just installed Deep Freeze Standard in my Windows 10 desktop, it has expiration since it's trial. Deep Freeze Standard on my PC was expired, it says that I can't 'boot frozen' and it will be 'boot thawed'. I want to uninstall it so I uninstalled it, I deleted all files but I didn't click 'boot thawed' before I uninstall it, after 2 days, my PC is like boot frozen, because when I restart my PC, it's like I have permanent boot Frozen from Deep Freeze, I don't know what should I do, DFServ is in my PC Services until now. When I reinstall/download Deep Freeze Standard, there is an error that I should disable my Deep Freeze before I install/uninstall it. Please Help

    You’d better ask for help from Deep Freeze Standard support, seems that you didn’t completely uninstall Deep Freeze Standard then lead to current situation.
    On Windows side, Reset this PC can resolve this issue, your personal data will not lost, but you need to reinstall some apps.

    I know it's probably way too late...

    Boot into winpe, load the system hive, set DFServ start to 0, unload the hive, reboot.
