Hi there,
is unfortunately a lot of text, but serves for a better description.
https://4kpornindex.com/
I had a reading problem yesterday when booting up Win10 on one of the two hard drives (= data disk, partitioned into 3 parts). In any case, the automatic correction of H: started after 8 seconds. After that, the percentage is up to 9% very quickly and then persists for 4 hours at 9%.
After rebooting again, I started the repair sequence again (same result) and then skipped the repair again. In Windows, I: and J: (Partition 2 / Partition 3) were displayed correctly and H: (= Partition1) could not be accessed / read or was displayed as "System H:" (previously "Backup1").
Under management, the disk was shown as error-free and RAW instead of NTFS.

Then I ran the test disk and the first partition was displayed with "* HPFS NTFS" (this hard disk is not a boot disk), continued to "Deeper Search" for 3-4 hours and at 70% when it arrived at the third partition I did canceled.
According to the instructions, then tries to see the file system on partition 1 -> Can't open filesystem
After this did not work but the partition was there, I continued on "Write" with yes and rebooted.

After the reboot, the Windows repair procedure again (this time up to 100%) Now he can no longer find any bad files on partition 1 (only about 10% are here)
In Testdisk he can now also display the file system, but dues is identical to Win10

It would be nice if someone could give me a tip on how best to get my files back :-)

Try TestDisk, Advanced, Undelete.
If it doesn't find your missing files, use PhotoRec on the free space of this partition. Be careful to store the recovered files on another partition.
Good luck
