I've got Windows 11 on my laptop, but I've been having some major issues lately. A few days ago, it struggled to boot, and while I managed to fix that, it happened again the very next day. I tried various commands in Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), but nothing worked. Automatic repairs seemed to require WiFi, but for some reason, it wouldn't accept my correct password. After being away for a few days, I attempted more commands, but now I can't even access WinRE anymore. I've checked BIOS settings, boot configurations, and run several tests which all turned out fine, except for a low battery, but I'm not sure how that's related. I suspect the problem is with my BCD or hard drive, but I can't find much help online. Can someone guide me on what to do next?

I totally get your frustration! Unfortunately, reinstalling the OS is usually the most straightforward solution when you run into persistent boot issues like this. Since the recovery partition appears to be compromised, you won't be able to recover through standard methods. If possible, try to borrow a USB stick from someone and grab a copy of Windows to reinstall. If you can't do that, then it might be worth checking if there are any deeper hardware issues at play.
First off, it's crucial to back up your data before messing with BIOS or disk settings, as it could lead to data loss. Regarding your situation, without a USB stick to reinstall Windows, your options are limited. You might want to consider getting a USB and a fresh Windows installation, as that's often the best fix for these types of issues. If you can't install from a USB, then you may need to swap out some hardware components or check if your SSD is failing. But definitely start with securing your data if you haven't already!
