First observation:
Windows 10 massive update (1511) , my pc just updated with what looks like a big service pack, everything seemed fine except my screen looked very bright so i booted up Nvidia control panel only to find it only had the 3D options in it, if this happens to you this might fix it as it did mine, go to Device Manager look under Display Adapters and you should see you display driver if you also see Intel HD Graphics right click and disable it then restart your pc, it fixed it for me.
Second observation:
On another note if you have to reset your pc and it is Windows 10 there is several options, to see them go to All settings >> Update and security >> Recover, if you need to reset your pc back to a new install so your HDD files all get wiped and your system was originally Windows 7,8 or 8.1 you wont be able to revert back to them you will be stuck with Windows 10, another thing to bare in mind is how long it takes you will need patience, at 66% you may sit for at least 30 minuets and at 99% the pc can sit for over three hours with some people reporting up to 9 hours, my personal time was around 4 hours so don't be tempted to power your pc down unless you like being stuck in a boot loop ! just leave it alone, the end result is a nice clean freshly installed operating system, there are other restore options available so check them out in the settings mentioned above.
