Windows 10: PC not properly turning on and shutting off randomly

After getting this computer windows 11 I figured out very quickly that I can't shut it down without it spending days refusing to turn on and either getting stuck on a partially lit up black screen or just saying please wait for hours. Occasionally when I try to turn it on it gives me the "windows didn't start correctly" screen and i've tried just restarting it, taking off the last update, resetting it to a certain point in which it told me I didn't have a point selected already and just resetting it in general which it told me failed 3 times.

Laptop randomly shuts down after latest Windows 10 update

Since the latest update of Windows 10 my computer decides to randomly shut down after every couple of minutes. First the screen goes black, then the sounds stops and after quite a while the power also goes down.

Obviously I though of cleaning the fan with a big vacuum, as suggested on My Windows 10 Computer Randomly Shuts Down . However, after doing this, the shutting down goes even quicker. I cannot even properly log-on before the shutdown takes place.

What should be my next step?

Ps. The computer is quited aged (roughly 3 - 4 years). The battery is dead enough such that I always need to have it plugged in an outlet. It might just be "done for" but I'm hoping to revive it for just a little bit more.
