    Hello YoItsAura,

    Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

    Generally, I recommend that users take a full registry backup before modifying it in case something like this happens.

    Obviously, your system core is damaged, you can use the following solutions to repair the system.

    1. Repair possible corrupted system files

    Run the following commands to fix possible corrupted system files. Run Command Prompt as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q", enter "cmd", select "Run as administrator"), and enter the following commands one by one. These commands require network support, please keep your network stable and smooth.

    sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

wsreset.exe

powershell "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}"

for %i in (%windir%\\system32\\*.dll) do regsvr32.exe /s %i

chkdsk C: /f

    Disclaimer*: Running chkdsk can check the file system and file system metadata of a volume for logical and physical errors. To avoid any trouble for you, please follow them step-by-step, do not cancel or interrupt chkdsk, and back up important data. For more information please refer to this* chkdsk article.

    2. Override the system

    • Please rest assured that the override system will theoretically not affect your data and applications (you need to choose to keep files and applications in the next steps), just update all the system files are the latest.
    • If you have important data, it is recommended that you make additional backups to prevent accidental loss of your data. Also make sure your system disk has enough free space, at least 40GB.
    1. Download ISO Visit Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com) and click "Download Now" under “Create Windows 11 Installation Media” to download MCT (Media Creation Tool). Image Then run the program, select "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD or ISO file) for another PC”, and then choose Language*,* Version*,* Architecture*(if you are not sure about these, choose "Use the recommended options for this PC"), then select "ISO file" in the "Select Media to Use" interface, and then a windows ISO file will be downloaded to your disk (about 4-5GB in size, it is recommended that you choose a non-system disk).*
    2. Choose to override the system After the download is completed, double-click the ISO file, double-click to run "setup.exe" in the open file explorer, and select "Change how Windows Installer downloads updates" > "Download updates, drivers and optional features", Select "Keep personal files and apps" after accepting the terms of the agreement, then click "Next" > "Install". Then the system will reboot a few times, and then enter the welcome screen.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
