Hi, Eahrend. I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.
Here are a few additional suggestions you can try:
Run the System File Checker (SFC) offline: You can try running the SFC scan from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to ensure a more thorough scan. Boot your computer from a Windows installation media, select your language preferences, and then click on "Repair your computer." Choose Troubleshoot > Command Prompt, and then run the sfc /scannow /offbootdir=<drive letter of Windows installation>:\ /offwindir=<drive letter of Windows installation>:\Windows command.
Perform a Windows Startup Repair: You can try using the Startup Repair feature in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to fix any startup-related issues. Follow the same steps as above to access WinRE, and then choose Troubleshoot > Startup Repair. Let the process complete and see if it resolves the issue.
Perform a System Restore: If you have a restore point created before the issue started occurring, you can try performing a System Restore. Boot your computer into WinRE, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System Restore, and follow the on-screen instructions to restore your system to a previous working state.
Perform a Windows in-place upgrade: This process allows you to repair your existing Windows installation without losing your personal files and applications. You can download the Windows 10 installation media from the Microsoft website, create a bootable USB drive, and then run the setup.exe file from within your current Windows installation. Choose the "Upgrade this PC now" option and follow the instructions to perform the in-place upgrade.
