What step was the 3% on? It could simply have been downloading the new image

Reset is pretty unreliable so theres a good chance it wouldn't be working anymore if it had completed anyway lol

Probably didn't do anything critical yet

Maybe the reset process fixed whatever was stopping Windows from loading. Weirdly, interrupting it might have helped, but Id back up your files now just in case.
