I opened my PC and saw the repair prompt for the drive C. The next time I started it, Windows wouldn’t boot. I need to save my files before this happens.

A backup is something you perform before losing access to your files, not once you've lost them. Your storage device should remain reachable, even if you switch to a computer that can boot into Windows. It should still be able to access the information from this drive.

You can attempt to restore from a previous Restore Point. Startup Repair attempts to boot multiple times but may repeatedly fail before returning you to the original screen.

Startup repair indicates it can’t resolve the issue and returns to that screen, confirming the files are missing. They suggested using the reinstall Windows option with the choice to retain files, and you asked if there’s any chance to extract data from this screen before giving up.

This recovery window allows access to the command prompt. Run "sfc -scannow" or "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth" to check for issues.
