You run push-button reset (PBR) in Windows 10 Version 1607 when the unattend.xml file includes the following setting:
<VisualEffects> <FontSmoothing>ClearType</FontSmoothing> </VisualEffects>
In this scenario, PBR fails, and the computer infinitely restarts.
This issue occurs because the unattend setting (Shell setup) process failed to configure the FontSmoothing registry key.
To avoid this issue, remove the FontSmoothing setting from the unattend.xml file before you run PBR.
If the issue already occurs, retry PBR after removing the setting.
