It doesn't seem stuck though cause the dotted circle is spinning. Did yours spin or was it completely stuck?

Solun, I just had to tell you that your question was NOT dumb in any way. I had the exact same thing happen and your posts saved me from making things so much worse. Indeed all that was needed was patience. But as you say, we are not used to things taking so long these days.
After reading your posts I decided as long as the little dots kept circling I would let it run for up to 24 hours before trying anything else. The chkdsk process took a little over 4 hours to complete and I was terrified the whole time. I was stuck at 11% for almost that whole time. When it "broke free" it went from 11% to 100% in under 5 minutes.
Now my issues are resolved and the system is working fine. All due to your "Dumb" question.
Thank You!
Try typing:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
into administrator command prompt & let it finish, then run sfc /scannow.
The dism command takes a long time to run.
It will fix things if they can be fixed.
Did run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth with no issues. Ran sfc /scannow and got to 31% where it then jump to 100% and completed.I have ran CHKDSK /f c: and after 31% the system reboots. Is this standard or an issue?
The drive is 2T
I have an number of applications that refuse to run now that ran a few week ago. Even after reinstalling them.
I ran CHKDSK on my other drives ranging from 1.5-3T with the 3T having errors and took 30 hours to repair it and reboot the system. Best to let the CHKDSK run as long as it has to and will reboot when it ready to do so.

As noted, best to leave the system running until the CKKDSK does it thing and then return to normal state. How long it takes depend on your drive and material on it. I have seen it take as much as 3 days to do a 4T drive with 2.2T data on it......
