Linus, himself, doesn't help people with computer-problems here, he has a lot more important stuff to spend his time on. Also, you're not going to get any help anyways, if you can't be arsed to explain your problem.

Idk how to explain it other than my computer is fucked. It won’t let me reset it in any way, it won’t let me open setting or control panel and stuff like that and somehow my computer managed to delete its recovery environment. And it won’t let me reinstall windows

But if I format and reinstall with installation media tool then would it keep my windows ID and activation?

I dont have the cd key bc I originally got my computer from Best Buy and when I got a new cpu and motherboard I called windows support and they re activated it for me bc the info for the activation and stuff didn’t come with my computer

Let's start over by figuring out the issue and troubleshoot the issue before diving into the deep end of the pool first...

Please list for me the spec of your pc.

What OS are you using? Win7, 8, 10?

What in the best way you can describe (less foul language the better) is the PC doing or not doing, such as will it boot to the bios? or will it boot as far as windows?

I have a rtx 2060 super, i5-9400f, 16gb ddr4 ram, 1tb hhd, idk the power supply, windows 10. 
 

ok so idk the issue but my windows recovery environment is gone, when I boot up I get this svhost pop up thing. And when I sign in it doesn’t let me open start or settings or control panel or anything like that, and when I do shift+ restart it doesn’t have the reset option and it won’t let me reinstall windows by using a flash drive and opening file explorer and double clicking the one things that lets you reinstall windows bc it just cancels the install after 26%. It’s really confusing and I have tried everything I can think of to fix it and I have l have used lots of YouTube videos and nothings helping.

OK can you boot to the BIOS? [pressing F2 or F12?]

Awesome.

You need to change the boot option to the USB where you should have a Windows ISO installer.

Do you have the ISO?

Alright, do a force restart of the PC > go into the Bios > make sure the primary boot is the USB drive > plug in the usb > save and restart.

In the installer there "should" be an option to run a recovery if not run a drive format > when finished let the installer create new partitions and install windows.

 

Do you still have the original Windows Key?

No I can’t get the windows key bc I can’t open setting and stuff and even if I do get it through command prompt, I can’t activate it again bc of what I said earlier, I originally bought my computer from bestbuy and it didn’t come with activation info so once it gets inactived then I’m screwed

Not necessarily. Windows keys are linked to your mobo these days and your Microsoft account. We can cross that bridge later.

Do the format and re-install for now, then let the pc complete all of its updates.

 

*edit

When you have done this let me know. I will be going to bed in the next hour Fyi.

Just so you know, you can run most of what you need with an unlicensed version any how so you will be fine until you either recover your key or get a new one.
