This might assist the SFC process.
Right-click Start, select Terminal (Admin).
If it doesn’t open as PowerShell, click the drop-down arrow in the title row and choose it.
Paste the following command into the window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
Press Enter.
Then enter SFC /scannow
Press Enter.
Restart the PC if SFC fixes any issues, as some repairs need a restart to take effect.
The first command cleans the files SFC uses and updates system files.
SFC stands for System File Checker. The first command runs DISM.

This might be your issue. Replacing components on-site should function, though the variety of hardware and software makes it less reliable—often causing issues like yours.
If I were dealing with this, I’d perform a full Windows 11 installation, removing the current UEFI partitions.
You're likely right, I'm a perfectionist and used to do clean installs. Nowadays, I tend to be lazy and prefer the easy way, like using system restore or resetting the system. Colif, I'll try your suggestion first and update everyone. Thanks. Also, I talked to someone about fixing the power options—setting it to "Never" sleep is the only option that works.
Colif mentioned WindowsImage was fine and SFC didn't detect any integrity issues. I have a JPEG image of it but am unsure how to include it in the post. Would you consider a system reset?
No need for screenshots, that is a typical reaction. If you're looking for a clean install, it's up to you. They will be fine as long as you have prepared and saved copies of everything you need elsewhere, so nothing gets lost. Resets aren't ideal and I've seen them completely wipe out Windows, so it's probably best to opt for a clean install. Follow this guide: https://forums. It's mostly the same, which is why we never created an 11 guide.
