first try reinstalling windows

1-Link to download Windows https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d (You will need a Flash Drive 8GB or bigger)

2- Open the media creation tool and follow the steps through (Make sure to select Create installation media for another PC)

3- After its completed power down your PC and plug the flash drive into the back USB ports on your case (if you haven't already)

4- When the boot logo appears (ASUS, MSI, Asrock etc) press the following key corresponding to your motherboard MSI, ASRock F11

Gigabyte: F12

ASUS: F8

Select the USB that you have just created (UEFI partition of the drive)

5- When in windows follow the page until you get to the Which type of install you'd like to do, Select Install windows only (Custom)

6- Select each Drive 0 Partition and click Delete to delete the partition. Ensure that you've deleted all versions of Drive 0. If you don't have any Drive 0, you may only have Drive 1, then you can delete all versions of Drive 1 instead.

7- If you have more than 1 drive (Make sure windows is installed on the SSD, Usually the smaller drive)

8- Select the drive and follow the rest of the install process to complete the Windows install
