Windows 10: I'm trying to run chkdsk /f on my D: drive and it's been stuck at 0% completion for an hour

So today out of nowhere my external sea gate hard drive starts acting up. My laptop recognizes that it's connected but none of the stuff I've downloaded on it loads. For example I have a few games on steam that I have installed on my D: drive, none of these games appear as loaded and instead ask me to install them even with my hard drive plugged in and recognized. At first I tried to run a repair as it prompted me with a notification. But that didn't work it ran into an error. So instead I decided to run chkdsk since it's the best option for scanning and repairing hard drives. The only probl

chkdsk /f is not running on startup. C drive error

System Info:

• Windows 10 Home
  
• Version 22H2
  
• C: Drive - Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB
  

Issues:

• Blue screen crash
  
• Errors found in C: drive
  

Attempted Fixes:

• "chkdsk /f" command attempted multiple times via powershell, windows 10 system notification, and C: drive device properties
  
  • When restarting, the computer briefly displays the disk repair prompt and message before going to the login screen as normal
    
  • When opening the event viewer and searching for events under the chkdsk and Wininit, the only things found are the online scans. It appears as though the chkdsk /f isn't even running at all, as it creates no logs and fixes no errors
    
• "sfc /scannow" command used
  
  • Corrupt files found and repaired, but chkdsk issue persists
    

Below is the results of one of the "chkdsk /scan"s:

Chkdsk was executed in scan mode on a volume snapshot.
