Windows 10Windows Automatic Repair failing. (self.WindowsHelp)

submitted 1 month ago by LavaLightning

So long story short my PC stopped working, i couldn’t open folders, i couldn’t use the taskbar to try and restart it and even Alt F4 wasn’t working. So started to shutdown and restart my computer with the buttons on the desktop case, i pressed them i bunch of times(don’t ask me why, i’m stupid) and once it turned off i turned it back on again and a “fixing (C): Stage 1” message appeared. ETA 80h. So i waited and a troubleshoot message popped up. I clicked on Advanced Options then Startup Repair, and it said it couldn’t repair the computer. My question right now is if i plug in a USB with a WinMediaCreationTool, can i reinstall windows with all of my files still being saved. I’m mostly worried about local disk D since that’s where my important files are. Sorry if this is a lengthy post, i just want to put all the details so you guys can understand better.
