Windows 10: Local Disk C: Error

For the past few days I've been experiencing stutters here and there while using my laptop, an Acer Aspire 3. 'Restart to repair drive error C:' has been showing up while booting and upon hunting through other websites, they have recommended to run CHDSK, sfc /scannow, DISM, all which ive tried but to no avail. Running CHDSK on cmd brings another message saying this is being used by another volume and will be checked upon restart, which ive done multiple times. Is there any fix which doesn't require a complete factory reset.

Local Disk (C Errors

I suggest you do this command first

Chkdsk c: /F

then use the commands that charlie suggested

the SFC command

Ending with the DISM

Chkdsk checks and repairs the basic disk structure

SFC fixes some system files

DISM fixes other system files.
