I clicked the reinstall windows 11 option on settings because it was not working properly and I left it overnight it is stuck on the loading screen with windows logo and all I could do is go into repair mode I tried to boot into safe mode but it doesn't open and instead boots right back into repair mode so I tried to reset the pc (with keep my files) It says "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made" DISM command says error 87 cleanup-image is unknown

However I have not tried to do it without the keep my files option. would a full factory reset wipe both c: and d: drive or only c:? I don’t know if anything can be done in order to backup files now since when I exit winre it’s just stuck loading (preparing automatic repair)
