My Operating System(windows 8.1) got infected by a virus or a malware. I tried to reset the system back to factory settings via recovery settings. But when I start it there is not a respond. I is just preparing.

So I want to ask if there is a possibility to reset my system back to factory settings via command line.

Thanks in Advance

  • -1 what on earth is this talk of resetting the system back to factory settings? What like holding a button for 10 seconds? are computers running windows getting this small now that they've gone like that? I think you'll find windows still needs to be installed it's not just a reset procedure. Did you insert a recovery cd? Be more clear about the procedure you used to reset to factory settings

Tapping F8 or Shift F8 during boot does not seem to work anymore in windows 8.1.

I think you have to boot from the Windows 8.1 DVD and choose Repair computer, there you will find the options to use system restore, reset your computer or reinstall windows.
