    How to fix this error: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.


    After the recent Windows update I have been getting an error message when I click on some icons.The path to the file is shown and the following statement. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I have lost Thunderbird, Firefox, notepad to name a few! I have had to redownload and reinstall these programs only to lose them again to the same issue. It seems that the issue is increasing and I'm now seeing a corrupted Microsoft Edge. I got a blank page and UNTITLED in the tab. I fixed that but - for how long.I have Windows 11 64bit running. 240 gb SSD hard drive as C: drive. 1 tb ha

    The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

    I have 4 of these errors, NTFS failed to mount the volume.

    Error: {Corrupt File}

    The file or directory %hs is corrupt and unreadable.

    Please run the Chkdsk utility.

    Volume GUID: {xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}

    Volume Name:

    Guidance:

    The volume is recognized by NTFS but it is corrupted that NTFS could not mount it. Run

    CHKDSK /F to fix any errors on this volume, and then try accessing it.

    Not sure whats causing it, doesn't tell me the volume, but I only have the one drive

    with the recovery partition.
