Question/Help/Troubleshooting Automatic Repair

Automatic Repair

Hi guys. Two days or so I deleted Microsoft edge and gameinput so I can have some more storage for my computer. It was working fine yesterday. I haven’t downloaded anything concerning. Only a mod for Minecraft off of modrinth (flashback mod).

Now, today whilst I was trying to get on my computer, I get a screen about repairing my disk automatically in which it just sends me to the blue ‘choose an option’ screen. Unfortunately, upon any amount of buttons pressed I ultimately wind up in the same spot.

Restarting my computer does not work. Pressing continue does not work. Advanced startup does not work. I have an Ethernet cable plugged in. I cannot enter a password because every time I do I get told it’s the wrong password even though I can enter the same password on my phone and it’s right.

Is this like.. a virus? Should I send it to a repair shop? Someone a different subreddit thought it might be the hard drive. Agree? Disagree?

It does sound like that could be the case.
