Hey all, lately I've been having an issue with my Window 11 install becoming corrupt and requiring a re-install.

 

The first 2 times it happened the power cord accidentally got unplugged and then Windows wouldn't boot, it went to the Windows Recovery Screen. Fixed by reinstalling Windows (keeping files in tact)

The 3rd time, power gets unplugged, but I was able to restore to a previous version of Windows to get it back without losing apps.

4th time I installed a graphics driver update and when I rebooted, same thing I got the Windows Recovery Screen.

 

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Why does the power cord keep getting unplugged? And make a recovery image. Windows 11 is a buggy hunk of shit, so you must be very careful with it and make recovery points so you don't have to drag your balls through glass every time your PC just so happens to be suddenly unplugged.

I was in a temporary setup and it got caught on my feet a couple times accidentally. 
 

but today…a new problem. I restarted my computer and then it bricks itself for no reason. I didn’t install or change anything. Used a restore point and that didn’t work either. My pc is just bricked and likely needs a fresh install.
