what kind of reset? If you were keeping files and settings, you might be best saving all your files onto a USB stick or 2nd hdd if you have one.

If you were resetting it and wiping it all, I think there is something wrong with your image as that would be only reason it would stop. As such, the easiest answer is a fresh install instead.

Download this and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB or DVD: win 10 media creation tool - as there is a new version of Windows 10 coming out next week, you could hold off doing this until after its out so you upgrade to latest version right away.

There is a way to fix the image but its not always successful and a fresh install doesn't waste your time.
