Hey guys! Sorry I couldn't find an error tag. I recently updated my windows 10 (forgive me for not knowing which version I updated to, it was auto) and within an hour or so it blue screened my PC. The stop code was 'CRITICAL_PROCESSES_DIED'. I booted with command prompt, cuz safe mode doesnt work, and I tried SFC scan. It couldn't do it, it said Windows resource couldn't do the function. I used DiskPart to check my boot drive (an SSD), and when I tried to use Dism Image Cleanup on the partition that contains the program files, windows folder, etc.. it told me 'this volume doesn't contain a recognised file structure'. chkfsk didn't work well either.. it removed a few corrupted files then it said 'an unspecified error occurred (726166696c652e63 251)'

and another unspecified error with a code. then it said 'failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 0'. How to fix this..? ;~;

    From what you've reported there are drive problems.

    If there are no backed up files or images please attempt to rescue important files.

    There are multiple types of drive tests.

    A drive can pass one test and fail another.

    There is a bootable Long generic test that is the drive test type used for warranty replacement:

    When you have a new drive/installation consider making automatic free or pay backup images.

    (Acronis, Aoemi, EaseUS, Hasleo, Macrium, Paragon, etc.)

    Back up imaging can be used for:

    Corruption of the operating system

    Corruption of the registry

    Corruption of the component store

    Corruption of the drive file system

    Malware

    Ransomware

    Problems with Windows upgrades and updates

    Acts of Mother nature (fire, flood, etc.)

    Failure to boot

    Unexpected drive failure

    etc.

    Backup images can be saved to another disk drive and/or the cloud.

    Restoring an image typically takes less than one hour.

    You're welcome.
