Windows Corrupted File

Question

Hello.

This morning, after my computer was on sleep mode, I turned it on. It showed the computer logo and after a second showed a popup that said "The trash file on /C: is corrupted, would you like to delete it" on top of a black screen. I couldn't click anywhere, not even the yes or no option.

Searching online I found a suggestion to reboot the computer three times to access WINRE. The logo showed up and instead of the pop I got a bunch of texts underneath saying things like opening this and checking that

Now it is stuck on Attempting Repairs, and it's been like this for a while.

What can I do if this never goes away?

Thanks

Alright, thanks for your help.

Answer 4

Most likely Windows found corruption on your drive and Windows has now repaired that corruption, this should not happen again if the drive was repaired.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

From your description it seems your drive is being checked for errors, if it is, do not interrupt that process, please provide a photo of that screen you now see when you start your PC.
