I'm getting a BSOD with 'Critical Process Died' when I start up my PC, I cannot even get into Windows 11.
I belive its the OS and not hardware, as Iv'e taken the SSD out and put it in another computer, and it still gives the same error on booting up.
I've done a Kingston SSD Manager scan and it reports back healthy.
CrystalDiskInfo shows 'Unknown' and 92%.
Once the PC shows the BSOD, I restart it and it goes into Automatic Repair.
I can then go to Troubleshoot>Reset PC, no matter what i click on i get 'There was a problem resetting your PC'
Looking on the net, it looks like the Windows files are corrupt, is there any way to refresh the Windows files?
I've tried sfc/scannow and it took a while, but it completed.
I've tried Dism /image:d: /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and it gives 'The scratch directory size might be insufficient...'
I've tried System Restore but there are no valid restore points.
I just need a way to refresh Windows to get it working agin, is there a way to do this?
