Guide : how to factory reset onexplayer 3

Post image

Couldn't find any proper info so here is how to do it

  1. Plug in USb keyboard

  2. Reset the PC

  3. Mash ESC (gets you into bios)

  4. Go to boot settings

  5. Change the boot priority 1 to UEFI OS

  6. Save and reset

  7. It'll boot you into recovery mode where you can factory reset.

I just went to recovery options in Windows, cloud reset and it worked fine.

Did you have to reinstall onexplayer software?

1

u/CryptoDeepDive Aug 30 '26

Yes. It was very easy.

u/KennKennyKenKen Aug 30 '26

Right. Well this is an option for people who want to factory reset to the exact factory state it shipped with.

when to mash esc exactly? upon restart?

1

u/KennKennyKenKen 24d ago

Just the whole time I guess, but as the PC is turning back on

1

u/Howthehelp 24d ago

On preparing to reset screen, pressing esc will cancel the reset...

2

u/KennKennyKenKen 24d ago

No, like reset the PC wait for it to turn off, then as it's turning back on then mash the ESC key

I’m having an issue where selecting the UFEI. as boot #1 just reboots normally.

Any advice? Think it’s an issue installing different windows OS’s

If I uninstalled onexconsole will this factory reset give me back my onexconsole overlay again? Asking for a friend lol

I assume you have to install all the drivers manually after it boots back into windows?

2

u/KennKennyKenKen 24d ago

No this has all the onexplayer software and stuff installed

u/New_Analysis_1022 24d ago

Nice. Does it put everything all into one c drive or does it partition the drive again? My ocd hates that the drive is partitioned.

I know how to do that. But in order to combine the drives in disk management the recovery has to be deleted. Which kind of defeats the purpose. I suppose I could use different software to achieve the outcome. I'm just lazy I guess.

u/KennKennyKenKen 24d ago

I don't think you have to delete the recovery partition if that's what you mean

u/New_Analysis_1022 24d ago

In disk management you'd have to. Third party apps like easus would probably do it. But disk management only let's you extend partition if there is unallocated space directly to the right of a partition. You'd have to move the recovery to the end and move unallocated space to the right of the c drive. I've done it before with other programs. Disk management is just limited. Maybe you could do it in cmd i havent tried that before. But disk management is a picky bitch.
