Windows 10: Having trouble with windows after disk checked at startup

When booting up my computer the other day, windows ran a drive scan on my laptop during startup. After which, I had trouble booting into windows, I would get the spinning dots for a few seconds, but instead of going to logon screen, the display would just be black. I could toggle shift lock light on the keyboard, so I was assuming maybe display issue. I tried with external monitor, with no luck. I have a second drive with a clean windows install which boots and functions fine. So rules out any hardware issues, except maybe the drive itself


I searched the net and tried sfc and a few other things, I'm not sure what else I tried now I can boot into windows but taskbar takes forever to populate icons, Hello, and PIN no longer work, start menu doesn't work and I have no access to my C: drive. Access is denied


In investigating my issue, I have noticed my machine name has changed from LAPTOP-GNJCN00I to LAPTOP-P3H1PGJA. Now, this drive used to be in a slightly older nearly identical laptop which had a defective display and has been running on this machine for months without issue. The P3H1PGJA is the old name from the old laptop. I am assuming this change has affected the permissions of my drive and files. I've tried changing the machine name back to LAPTOP-GCJCN00I.


I have also tried an older restore point from 2 weeks ago with no luck.


When I boot into safe mode, I can access C: but start menu still doesn't work.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme gen 2

Intel Core i9-9880H

Nvme0: Samsung 970 2Gb Affected drive

Nvme1: Intel 660p 2Gb Working clean windows install


Any help would be appreciated.

Disk Check Issue?

I'm having the Disk Check issue again. However, this time, I can't use Startup Repair to fix it. Can you address this?

 

Checking Disk Consistency

Ok i did as viper suggested, but it stops checking at stage 3. It is still saying the drive is dirty, and still needs to be checked. I did a defrag and a disk cleanup, and suggestions?

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?
