Hello, TOG Avenged7x.

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

According to the information you shared, the computer seems to have a problem of "unable to load sysmain.dll".

You can try the system repair command.

"Win" + "Q" to open search -> type "CMD" -> right-click -> run "CMD" as administrator -> enter the following command.

sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

These commands can check and attempt to repair problematic system files.

Try this method.

If there are any updates, please feel free to reply.

Best regards.
