[SOLVED] Can't use safe mode in Windows 10 and can't download gpu drivers or reset my pc

[robbhillhouse]

I recently switched from Rx 570 to a 2080 ti. I noticed that my pc was running really slow and when I tried to install new nvidia drivers it always failed. I then tried to use DDU but it would uninstall the drivers but after it auto restarted my pc, it seems as if the ddu never ran because everything was the same as before even my recycling bin being full which I had emptied before running the DDU. I cannot reset my pc even if I try to delete all files and I can’t run in safe mode because my pc just restarts and pretends like no changes were made. Even after I switched my rx 570 back in it was having the same problems as the 2080 ti so it’s not the gpu fault. When I Try to update drivers it will install but when pc resets it goes back to not being updated.

specs:
CPU: ryzen 5 2600
GPU: rx 570 / 2080 ti
Motherboard: gigabyte b450m ds3h
RAM: g. Skill aegis 16gb
PSU: Corsair cxm 550 bronze

if any info is missing let me know and I will provide it

which version of win 10

1. right click start
2. choose run...
3. type winver and press enter
4. current version is 21H1

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter

SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

I have done these steps and confirmed that I am on version 21H1. It said that there is nothing wrong with my files. I still cannot reset my PC either, is there anything else that you would recommend I do?

Try a repair install, all it does is replaces windows - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

Its odd, but you may find the only real answer is a clean install of windows 10 if that repair doesn't help.
