Hello, I was using my computer today when I encountered a popup saying that I should restart to fix drive errors. Upon restarting, my computer booted up saying that this process might take an hour but ended up using like 5 minutes, then my computer booted up like normal and when I tried to access the windows button, it didn't work. In fact when I tried accessing one of the apps on my computer - "Blender" - It still didn't work. Please do you understand what's going on and how to fix it. I also can't access my microsoft copilot.

    Open Command Prompt as administrator and type the following commands after that hit the Enter key:

    sfc /scannow

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    If you have a recent system restore point from before these issues started, you might want to try restoring to that point.
