Acer Predator Helios 300
Model: N20C3
CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H
Graphics: RTX 3060
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 500GB M.2
The other day, this laptop was suddenly unable to boot past the Windows loading animation. I see the boot Predator logo, the Windows 10 spinning loading dots start up, and after a few seconds, they just freeze. Replacing the drive outright with another running Windows 10 seems to work fine, so I know it's not an issue of the laptop itself. It must be something with that specific installation of Windows 10.
Here's everything I've tried
Automatic Repair (nothing)
Recovery Menu > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options
I'd like some means of repairing this drive without outright re-installing
Thanks in advance
