Hi; I've found a very niche problem in my Asus Zenbook 14.
When I boot it, the automatic repair starts and fails. This laptop doesn't have a backup system image, and whenever I try to reinstall windows from the recovery screen's "Reset" command (either by local file or via the cloud) it simply tells me "there was an error. No files have been changed". I can access folders and open txt files from the C: drive via the command screen, which is why I haven't just replaced my hard drive as I'd quite like to keep it.
The C: drive passes chkdsk, but the X: (recovery) partition reports a chkdsk error. I can't do chkdsk /f as the partition is read only. Adding /x doesn't work, and I can't find the recovery partition with DISKPART in order to remove the read-only attribute.
I also attempted to run a few .exe files from the command line, but executables such as Powershell and wuauclt.exe give the error that the windows version is incorrect [Version 10.0.19041.1].
Any assistance would be really helpful: I've already moved my important files onto a usb, so I'm just looking for a way to reset Windows.
