I'm trying to factory reset my Lenovo laptop running Windows 11, but every time I try to open the settings, it only stays open for about a second before closing again. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I apologize if I haven't provided enough details!

I totally get it; tech stuff can be super confusing! If you need help with the clean install, I can guide you through the basics!
For an actual factory reset, the best route is to download the Media Creation Tool and create a flash drive for installation. Plus, since you have a Lenovo, check if your laptop has the One-Key Recovery option, which could help, but it's more of a partial solution.
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend using the built-in factory reset feature since it's pretty buggy. A clean install is always the way to go to avoid complications.
You might want to consider reinstalling Windows using a USB stick. This is usually a straightforward process and can give you a fresh start without relying on the settings that aren't opening up for you.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll try making a flash drive. I didn’t even know about the One-Key Recovery!
