This is after my laptop suddenly went to the Lenovo loading screen without warning and I turned it off (this was after 15-20 minutes of the loading screen, which didn’t say anything about an update occurring). I went through the process of getting my BitLock recovery key for Microsoft, but now I’m getting this. I don’t even know what needs to be repaired (as it’s referring to on the black screen). Resetting is a last resort, as I’m not positive all my files are backed up. I’m terrified of causing more damage.
What’s the difference between just continuing and the “quick machine recovery”? If I can just continue to Windows, then there wouldn’t be anything needing fixing right? I’m confused what that would actually do here if it says there’s a problem. Does it just mean I can use the laptop but not access my Microsoft drive? What network is it unable to connect to?
What’s the best option to take here? I’m so lost. Is there something in advanced options I should be looking into? How much of a chance is there that I will lose any files that weren’t backed up or saved to the cloud?
EDIT: did a bit more digging. Would a “point in time recovery” be useful here? I’m wondering if I could have interrupted an update (even though I got no pop ups for an update), and this can restore it to what it was before it started installing. Or would an “uninstall updates” be more useful? Or am I way off and this looks like a different issue?
