My computer has been nothing but a headache. It will not shut down or boot up properly. It is constantly stuck on this screen & it runs horribly slow.

Hi @jordannnoel40
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I understand when you start up your PC you are getting an error- scanning and repairing drive (E:): 100% complete.
Don't worry I will try to help you out.
Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
Try performing a hard reset on your PC and check if it helps.
Turn off the computer.
Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
With the battery and power cord unplugged, press and hold the Power button for about 30 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors.
Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the laptop, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
Press the Power button to turn on the computer.
If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key.
After Windows opens, reconnect each peripheral device that was disconnected, one device at a time, until all devices are reconnected.
Your laptop has been reset. After a power reset, it is a good idea to run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.
Try running system diagnostics on your PC from F2 and let me know the results.
Refer to this article to know how to run system diagnostics.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
