Thanks for everyone's help. Its pretty obvious its no fault of MB's You were the only ones who tried to help. I wasted a lot of time looking only at the admin events and cbs.log and not at full event "picture" which indicated the start of a disk failure and probably started the snowball.

But I can click on the desktop icons or start apps in the task manager. Errors are AppXSvc crying about the State Repository not started and Faulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 10.0.19041.488,

Still at it

It didn't matter if i Clicked YES and waited a few hours or NO. There would be a blue spinning circle and if i clicked on the screen it would flash CTRL-ALT-DEL only allowed l
