2021-02-07T21:23:53+00:00 So there doesn't look like a Window Fault happening when you start Windows but E:$Windows.~bt looks like something's happening.
Let's open the setupact.log and setuperr.log
notepad C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log
notepad C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log
If they are big perhaps load them on your google drive to share

2021-02-07T20:44:03+00:00 OK. So I had a similar issue with my machine with the spinning dots after the Microsoft logo with spinning dots disappeared.
The ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive had several folders but the most recent was
NonCritical_Update;ScanForUp_{bunch of other numbers}
The file Report.wer had EventType=StoreAgentDownloadFailure1
So looks like an update issue. I disabled the Windows Update Service. Follow these instructions carefully.
regedit
Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
File - Load Hive...
E:\Windows\System32\Config\SYSTEM
SYS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYS\ControlSet001\Services\wuauserv
Start should be set to 3 to disable set this to 4
On the left side move back up to highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYS
File - Unload Hive...
Yes
Restart your machine.

Can you do 'dir e:' to check if you have a Program Files (x86) folder? If there is then you'll need to download the 64 bit version of the Windows installer.
Also do
dir /od E:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive
If there are folders then there should be a report.wer
That may give us a clue in what's going on.
