Windows recovery on asus laptop. How to start recovery on Asus
Instruction
Pretty much every laptop you can buy in a store computer technology, comes with the operating system. This has its advantages: no need to spend money on a purchase operating system and there is no need to spend time installing the system. The presence of an operating system on a laptop hard drive indicates that HDD contains a hidden partition that is used to restore factory settings. Some users intentionally overwrite this partition in order to increase disk space, some do not even know about the existence of this partition.
If you didn't know it existed hidden drive and want to use it for its intended purpose, you can use special keyboard shortcuts. To properly use the system restore function and application programs you need to know these keyboard shortcuts. The so-called hotkeys must be pressed while the computer is booting, i.e. at the moment when the operating system crashes and cannot boot on its own. When you press the hotkeys, you get into the factory reset menu.
Each laptop manufacturer has developed its own settings recovery system, so the hotkeys will differ. Below is a list of keyboard shortcuts for major laptop manufacturers:
Samsung - press F4;
Fujitsu Siemens - press F8;
Toshiba - press F8;
Asus - press F9;
Sony VAIO - press F10;
Packard Bell - press F10;
HP Pavilion - press F11;
LG - press F11;
Lenovo ThinkPad - press F11;
Acer - enable Disk-to-Disk (D2D) mode in BIOS, then press Alt+F10;
Dell (Inspiron) - press Ctrl+F11
Laptop manufacturers assure that you can restore the system, and the integrity of files or folders that are important to you is unlikely. Therefore, do not forget to make copies of your files on removable media more often: CD/DVDs, flash media, etc.
ASUS brand laptops have long been equipped with a convenient utility for resetting settings. This utility will help you return to the factory state in just two simple steps. You need to read carefully, and as I already wrote, the utility will do the rest for you.
To reset your Asus laptop to factory settings, follow these steps in sequence:
ASUS laptops have the function enabled by default. quick start- Boot Booster. She bothers us. To turn it off, go to BIOS. On ASUS laptops, the BIOS is launched by pressing the F2 button while the device is turned on. The button must be pressed before the operating system starts loading. It would be wise to press it several times to let the laptop know what we want from it.
Once in the BIOS, go to the Boot tab. You can go to the tab using the arrows on the keyboard or with the mouse, if the BIOS supports it. In the Boot tab, you need to find the Boot Booster item, select it and press Enter. After pressing Enter, a window will open in which you must select the Disabled item. In this way, we will disable the quick start system, which will give us the opportunity to return to the factory settings.
Now use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate to last tab and select Savechangesandexit and wait for it to activate. This will save the results of your work in the BIOS and restart the laptop.
The recovery program will prepare all the necessary files, ask you again and start the system recovery. After that, system preparation for data recovery will begin. A message will appear on the screen informing you that all user settings will be deleted. You will need to confirm this action by clicking OK. Your further participation is not required. During the process, the laptop will restart several times. Estimated waiting time is 30 minutes.

The latest laptop models have a very good option to restore the laptop to factory condition, which is very convenient. After installing the system on a laptop, you need to install all the drivers and programs. Now after restoring the system, this is no longer necessary. This applies not only to Asus laptops, but in this article we will talk about them.
Over the past week, several laptops have been received with problems loading the OS. In the latter case, the owner came up with a question: “How to start a recovery asus systems EEEPC?
In laptops asus recovery system (recovery) is launched by pressing F9. In this article, the photos were taken during system recovery on the Asus X54C-SX531R. A hidden partition of 20-30 GB in size has been created on the hard drives (HDD) of laptops, which simple means you can’t delete it, format it even on another computer (if you remove the HDD), but it’s better not to delete the system recovery partition. When installing another operating system, you will have to manually search for and install the appropriate drivers.
Remember, the laptop battery must be fully charged, and in some models, the laptop must be connected to the mains during the recovery process.
In order to start the Asus laptop recovery procedure, immediately after turning on the power of the computer, press and hold the F9 key for a few seconds. This should bring up a menu like this.
We press enter.
Select the desired language from the drop-down list and click "Next".
The window that appears will warn you that this software is exclusively for Asus laptops and will also warn you that the data on the drive will be destroyed. If you saved everything necessary files, boldly click "Next".
Then they will offer a choice on which of the partitions to restore the system. Here the choice is yours, but to save the data in the "D" section, select "Restore Windows to the first partition" and click "next".
From this moment, the recovery procedure will begin directly. Its beginning looks like this: 
Do not be nervous, do not press or enter anything! After starting System Restore on asus laptop, this data is entered automatically by the laptop. Just wait until the desktop appears on the display and the laptop stops rebooting. In this case, the recovery process lasted more than 1 hour.
Many laptop manufacturers today include pre-installed software special utilities to restore factory settings, which are intended exclusively for those cases when the installed operating system is damaged to such an extent that it not only does not boot, but also cannot roll back to one of the last healthy states or perform a complete reset of all parameters using the built-in tools. Next, let's look at how to launch ASUS Recovery (we'll take X553M and X540S as examples only). The solutions suggested below can be applied with equal success to all models of ASUS laptops, in which the presence of such a recovery environment is provided from the very beginning.
What is ASUS Recovery?
As is probably already clear, this utility, built-in program method in most modern ASUS laptops, is a specialized tool that allows you to restore the device's performance even with a full Windows damage. The initial system configuration files are located in a special section hidden from the user's eyes, so it is impossible to see it in the OS itself. The section is displayed just only when you run the rollback toolkit. Moreover, this section is protected, so it is almost impossible to get rid of it using standard methods (which, in general, is not necessary), although if you know what actions you need to perform, then you can. But it's not about that.
How to run ASUS Recovery on a laptop: standard scheme
So, suppose that the operating system does not boot under any pretext, but standard means rollback with the choice of the desired point or configuration do not work. To run on ASUS laptops, unlike some other manufacturers, special buttons, calling the recovery menu, placed on the keyboard panel or on the side faces of devices, are not provided. How to run ASUS Recovery in such a situation?
To do this, you can use the F9 key directly on the keyboard block, similar to how the troubleshooting start menu is called up in the seventh modification of Windows and below, in which the corresponding tools are located, such as loading into safe mode or start from a saved working copy.
System recovery process: step by step description
After entering the reset menu, the user's actions to restore the system are quite simple.
First you need to select the Windows installation line activated by default marked EMS Enabled and press the enter key. You can use the F8 key to configure additional options, but this is usually not required.
Next, choose the language, agree with the warning about and then, without fail, set the recovery to the first section, which corresponds exactly to the one in which Windows was originally installed. If you select the restore point on whole HDD, all logical partitions will be deleted, and the partition will be destroyed, which, accordingly, will lead to the loss of information that could not be affected during the reset. Then it remains only to activate the start of the recovery process, which will be performed completely automatically. The device will reboot several times, but this is normal. You will end up with a clean system that matches the moment the laptop was shipped off the assembly line for sale.
Note: if the system asks you to enter some data, you do not need to enter anything. The only exception is the choice of a registered user account.
Create a rollback point
If we talk about ASUS laptops, for example, the X540S series, how to run ASUS Recovery on such devices and the like, what options to choose, etc., to be sure, you should take additional measures related to creating a restore point on your own in case of an unexpected failure. This is necessary only for the reason that using the built-in recovery utility is tantamount to complete reset before initial state, how can this be done directly in Windows eighth and tenth versions, or the so-called clean install operating system, in which user files are destroyed entirely.
How to run ASUS Recovery to create a checkpoint? It's also simple. Only for this you need to use the System Protection function built into the recovery system (the utility can be started directly in Windows environment).
After entering into GUI choose to create backup(Create button), if necessary, set additional options(Advanced button), and then just start the process. Upon completion, a window will appear on the screen with a message about the successful creation of the checkpoint. It will be possible to roll back from it without deleting user information and means of full reset.
How to launch ASUS Recovery if the F9 key does not work?
However, it happens (and very often) that the reset menu standard method is not called. It may well be that this is due solely to damage hard drive, and that part of it, in which the original configuration is saved. How to run ASUS Recovery in this case? There is also a way out.
Most experts recommend using a small utility called ASUS Backtracker, which can create checkpoints and access the recovery menu if using the F9 key is not possible.
Other recovery methods
How to run ASUS Recovery on Windows 10 or any other system of this family, I think, is clear. But it is not always advisable to perform a rollback using such a tool. If the system boots and at least partially works, you can similarly perform the reset procedure directly in Windows. But this applies only to the eighth and tenth modifications. In the seventh version, no matter how hard you try, this will not work. However, you can download the latest successful configuration from the start menu called by the F8 key, or try to perform a normal rollback from the corresponding section of the Control Panel. In the latest versions of the system, it is also possible to apply special boot options.
Finally, if you can’t use anything at all, you should boot from a removable media with a distribution kit and restore from it, after checking system files with the help of tools command line(SFC) or repairing (or overwriting) the bootloader (Bootrec.exe toolkit). Also good in this regard is the DISM repair tool, which works similarly to the previous ones from the command line. However, using the built-in software environment recovery when compared with the above Windows tools, looks much simpler. And it is highly doubtful that an ordinary user will be able to damage the partition with the control configuration (unless the hard drive itself “falls”, but then nothing will help, although you can even try to restore the hard drive using Victoria program HDD or applet HDD Regenerator, which are able to work in a DOS-like mode when booted from an external media created with their help).
