Hi. Some of us have damaged Windows storage files that are used to rebuild/reset the Windows 11 build to factory, thus we cannot use the options specified here as much as we are told to follow the procedures mentioned above, it just won't work. I have gone through so much trouble to repair and replace and dism this and SFC that , that I just decided to offload my very large personal files(2tb) and reinstall from scratch(3 weeks later). The helpfulness is appreciated, but the problems sometimes are not as easily fixed as it is. .
