It's likely that removing software caused some system files to disappear. There might also be malware or a faulty drive involved. I recommend booting from a Live Linux system, backing up essential files, formatting the boot drive, and performing a fresh Windows installation. If you have a small 120 GB SSD, the drive could be nearing the end of its lifespan. Keep an eye on this in the future once everything is restored. Good luck!

That was something I considered, but probably not the best approach for my family members who aren’t familiar with tech. Can we create a backup using a Media Creation utility on an external device? The SSD is 500GB and quite recent, so it should be reliable.
