Doed snyone know what to do about How long should a reset take? Trying to reset it. It is currently at a small blue screen saying Preparing to reset.

I'm attempting to restore Windows 10 to an earlier date in an attempt to fix the drivers for my wireless network adapter. Anyway, I copied the original files from the external drive to another drive and than fully formatted the drive. Let the program analyze the disk and in the "file list" just simply tick all the boxes and hit "defrag checked". A discussion always stimulates the braincells!!! With todays larger drives a full consolidation takes a long time and is not needed for most users.
Let's face it you are not usually trying to save disc space on a TB drive. In Defraggler do an Analyze and then 'View Files'. Tick the box at the top to select all the fragmented files. Then click on 'Defrag Checked'. Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? Something else I forgot but have just remembered is if that drive uses Shingled Magnetic Recording "SMR" that alone can make it painfully slow, and they do their own internal "maintenance" moving data around.
