I keep getting Windows cannot find C:\<Random App>. In this case, I can't even uninstall the app to try to reinstall it. This has been happening for a while now and others have suggested running /SFC which didn't help. At this point, I am starting to think I somehow got infected which is weird cause I am usually very careful about what I do. I am attaching the logs for both malwarebytes and FRSTin hopes someone can help me.

That is very strange, just tried reinstalling Postgresql 11 and am still getting the error. Is my windows install borked?

I suspect your hard drive might be dying:

Description: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.

Can you try Hard Disk Sentinel and send me a screenshot of your drive analysis?

You need to try this and to test your hard drive from a low level:

There is a tutorial here as well and how to burn it and start it:

Ok, I followed the tutorial on creating a Ultimate CD Usb Stick. However when I try to select in the boot menu after hitting F11 during boot, it just loops back to the boot menu no matter how many times I select it. Usb works fine when viewed through windows explorer so I know it was created successfully.
Since it'snot possible to edit my last post to include screenshot proof, I'll just post a reply with the image attached. Sorry if I'm violating some bumping rules, but I had no other option.

Did you have two options for your USB, Uefi and non Uefi, try selection each one of them. Also try changing USB port.
Nope, I only have 1 USB option UEFI only, the other one is Windows 10 and Network? Funny thing is I just tested my BurnRecovery USB and that works fine.
