My windows doesn’t boot and I keep getting “CRITICAL PROCESS DIED” bsod, nothings works resetting gives me “windows couldn’t reset your pc” error and my restore points don’t show up anymore, sfc always fails and dism gives “no source found” error, this started when I used the option “use windows repair update” or something along those lines in the recovery settings. Any help would be great

Why do I have a feeling the disk itself is the problem...

I want you to clean install but I'm curious to what DISM says.

Can you run this command in command prompt:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

About that, I have documents on my c drive I would like to keep, would it be possible to use a M.2 enclosure to connect my C drive to another pc and transfer over the files?

Yes

#

I highly recommend you extract any important stuff first

#

otherwise you're in a bad spot anyway

#

I can’t get into windows from this pc so the only option I have is to buy a M.2 enclosure and extract my stuff from another pc

#

I’ll first buy that and extract my stuff then I’ll do a clean install with a new download of windows

#

I was hoping I could fix this internally but ig not

#

Thanks

@primal fossil finally got it lol

#

Turns out the most difficult part here was getting windows onto a usb in the first place

#

Every single windows computer other than my own in my house is prehistoric 💀

#

Still got there in the end

#

Thanks again
