I had to go back to Windows 10 Pro 32 bit and use the iPod reset tool which only works on older OS like Windows 7. On the 32-bit Operating System, you must right click on the iPod reset tool installer file and use Windows troubleshooter, select program worked with Windows 7, save settings and then run it. After installing the tool, the desktop shortcut will not work, you must drill down to it's actual location within ''C:\Program Files (x86)'' and ***right click*** on the application file to do the same, set ***worked with Windows 7*** and save. ***Then right click again*** and ***run as administrator***, otherwise the tool will not work.

I had to go back to Windows 10 Pro 32 bit and use ***iPod Reset Utility 1.0.4 for Windows*** which only works on older OS like Windows 7. On the 32-bit Operating System, you must right click on the iPod reset tool installer file and use Windows troubleshooter, select program worked with Windows 7, save settings and then run it. After installing the tool, the desktop shortcut will not work, you must drill down to it's actual location within ''C:\Program Files (x86)'' and ***right click*** on the application file to do the same, set ***worked with Windows 7*** and save. ***Then right click again*** and ***run as administrator***, otherwise the tool will not work.
It's very likely that the battery ran down to zero and even if you get things so you can access files, load songs in iTunes, the battery is toast :(
I was able to trickle charge it, after reset, by leaving it plugged into a PC's USB port. A falshing amber light is a good sign, means it's in disk access mode and is trickle charging, if the battery has not actually failed. Leave it plugged that way for 24 hrs, before testing the Shuffle's unplugged playback ability.
I don't think any of this would have worked, had I not used the reset tool!
