Depending on the state of your device, you can take different ways to fix this problem or save your computer from getting stuck in an infinite reset loop. Below are the different methods to restore your device and get rid of the frustrating error.

Use the Startup Repair​

Startup Repair can help you to fix common problems that prevent Windows from booting. What you need to do first is to enter Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). In order to do this, you will repeatedly restart your PC.

2. Hold on to the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your Windows when you see the Windows logo.
3. Turn your Windows off, repeat the above operations again, and your Windows will fully start up.
4. Select Advanced options > Choose an option and you're in WinRE.
5. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair > Restart

Or you can create a bootable USB drive or DVD with Windows 10 installer, and then insert the bootable USB drive or DVD into your PC to boot it.

Run the SFC scan​

One of the most common reasons for this error is corrupted system files. If the key file in your Windows 10 system is corrupted or deleted, it can prevent the operation from resetting your PC. So you can run the System File Checker (SFC scan) to repair the file.

Here's how to run the SFC scan:

1. Open Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator.
2. Type in the following command in the command window and then press Enter.
   sfc/scannow

Wait for the scanning process to finish and make sure you don't close the command prompt or shut down your computer during the process. All the system errors detected will automatically get repaired.

After that, restart your computer and try to reset your PC again.
