Windows 11 displays a blue screen every time I log in

I can log in to my account normally, but after about a minute, the screen turns blue and the computer freezes. This happens every time. I have absolutely no idea what’s causing it. The operating system is Windows 11, but I’m not sure of the version number.

I’m not very tech-savvy, so I don’t know if there’s a way to test the hard drive without physically removing it. If someone could walk me through the process step by step, I’d be happy to follow detailed instructions.

My computer is an MSI Nightblade 2.

    The disk check will run during startup. This can take several hours depending on your drive size, so be patient and don't interrupt it

    Safe Mode starts Windows with only the bare minimum drivers. If your PC doesn't freeze in Safe Mode, the problem is software-related.

    Force a shutdown three times to trigger Windows Automatic Repair. After accessing Advanced Options, select Startup Settings > Restart > Safe Mode, and then run

    sfc /scannow

    in Safe Mode to repair system files.

    This is your first and most important step. Safe Mode starts Windows with only the bare minimum drivers and services, which often allows you to bypass the problem.
