If you are able to get into Windows, you can use the method I previously provided with the Windows 10 ISO to perform an in-place repair.
Did you perform those steps?

I rebooted the computer and got the auto repair attempt then went into advanced and tried the start up repair. no success.
put in the clone that I had made and just for a little insurance, cloned the clone onto a brand new ssd. used the clone fine all day. booting up the computer gave me the same issue on the 2nd hard drive. put the 3rd clone in and within 24 hours I have 3 separate hard drives that will not boot, all with the same error.

2025-04-23T14:10:01+00:00 I am glad you are now able to boot up your system, if your system continues to crash, honestly, I think it is time to consider backing up your files and re-install Windows from a bootable USB.
