Kinda feel like puking from the anxiety of the whole situation, I was making good progress on stuff and then a windows update just comes out of nowhere and decides to ruin my pc.
Needless to say I won't be able to stream until I have finished moving everything off the drive, triple checking I've got everything and diagnosing/attempting a fresh install of windows, followed by an arduous period of reinstalling programs, restoring files/preferences, art brushes and other backups.
Worst case scenario I may need to replace some hardware (possibly the ram is just bad) which will just ruin most of the progress I made catching up with bills earlier in the month.
I have like 13 pics + the donkey sketches from earlier in the month that I'll probably have to re-input stuff for uploading after I get Postybirb back on, unless I just wait a day to do windows fixes and upload most of it in bulk while my pc still vaguely turns on.
Thankfully, no art should be affected by this as most of what I'm working on is saved elsewhere/on the cloud with ipad, and I've backed up my commission archives on a second external as well just in case.
So won't really be able to discord much outside of phone in the meantime. Fingies crossed that I can somehow fix this without losing anything.

Good news though if you get everything off, a clean install isn't usually that complicated. I wish you the best, we'll see you on the other side.
I just replaced my RAM because one stick went defective. The OS was fine, just wouldn't boot because of memory corruption.
If you have Windows 10 or 11, it come with a memory diagnostic software. It was able to report the issues. Wish I had run it before reinstalling Windows, as the reinstall did nothing.
And if RAM is indeed the issues, worries not as most have a lifetime warranty.
