Windows 10: All system preferences, most personal files, and more wiped from my system upon logging in!

Earlier, I turned on my laptop and attempted to log in to user profile on Windows 11, however, I was met with a screen saying something along the lines of "User process failed to sign in". So, I rebooted my system and tried to log in again. This time, instead of saying "logging in" like it usually does, it said "preparing windows".

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
