My ASUS laptop (not plugged in) is not affected.
There had been a power cut at about 06:00 but the computer was 99% certain to be off albeit plugged into the power supply. I say 99% because I always switch my device off by 8pm and I don’t think I could have left it on all night.

I tried fixing things a few times by: -
  1. Updating drivers
  2. Ensuring Bluetooth services were running.
  3. sfc /scannow
  4. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
  5. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
  6. Dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
  7. Also tried a restore from a Macrium image but no different.
An in place repair install fixed it.

Altogether I spent over 6 hours to fix it and I still don’t know the cause.

After a restart I created another Full Image using Macrium Reflect so all is okay again.

Question - I haven’t messed about with Bluetooth so is it possible for a power cut to cause corruption in a switched-off device?
