Hello all

My parents computer has an old(ish) SSD in it with Windows 10 installed. From nowhere, the computer has started exhibiting some strange behaviour such as the print spooler failing (and you can't turn it back on again under services.msc), Firefox failing to open due to a 'couldn't load XPCOM' error and then Windows 10 randomly becoming deactivated. Windows 10 also frequently advises to check the drive for errors. When I run a chkdsk /r /f, it manages to get to 14% before hanging and it never completes the scan.

Does this sound like a failing SSD?

Many thanks

M.
