    You need to let this run; Windows will attempt to repair your hard drive.

    Please install this program and post the result here.
    CrystalDiskInfo --> https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/
    This program can determine if your hard drive contains errors or is about to fail.

    For this, you could try unpluging sata cable for boot and attach it later, but I see your already on to backing up
    Good luck and best wishes, been there once and I got 70% back.

    P.S. One tip for backups, if you´re low on money is to buy second hand HDDs, do health check, backup and put into closet. Just remember to spin them once a while(half yearly). I bought 4 old 1Tb HDDs for 20€ and HDD/SSD dock for 40€
    I used this method before I built my own server.
