I really need some help here. I was updating Windows, but it was taking forever, and I needed to work, so I shut down my PC using the power button. When I turned it back on, half of my apps were gone, and it seems like some important system files are corrupted or missing.
Here’s what’s happening:
- A bunch of my apps disappeared.
- Some Windows files seem to be missing or corrupted.
- Tried running chkdsk and some repair commands, but nothing seems to work.
This all started after I forced a shutdown during the update because it was taking too long. Now my C: drive seems messed up, and I’m worried I might lose everything. Anyone have any idea what I can try to fix this or recover my files?
Appreciate any help!
I’ve already tried:
sfc /scannow: It said it fixed some issues, but nothing changed.
DISM /RestoreHealth: Ran successfully, but still no luck.
System Recovery: The recovery point I have is after the issue started happening, so no help there.
CHKDSK: Did that with /f /r /x, but no improvement.
