    Windows 10, Can't reset


    I tried to download some stuff for a game yesterday and let's just say, it didn't go well. I was overwhelmed with malware and Trojan alerts from windows defender including a settingsmodifier and a Trojan that I just can't get to go away no matter how many times I clean the system with windows defender.

    I also have lost the ability to go on the Internet because of a problem with the proxy server. Which I can change for some reason (I assume having to do with the bugs). I figured I would just reset the pc because I don't have much on here that's important. When I tried to click "get started" under the reset this pc, nothing happened....

    I'm at a loss for what to do, at this point I just want to reset the computer and move on, please help me!

    Thanks in advance,
    Jacob

    If you just want vanilla Windows 10 without all the manufacturer extra software, just do a clean install from a USB or DVD:
