3. Hopefully the simple reboot works suggested by the other DU person.

Otherwise, your data is still there so you may need to work with someone on Data Recovery to pull it onto another drive.

IF you are on an Edge version that can be updated to one of those they support, that might help, but you want someone who can work to get your data before any massive rebuild. The rebuild would be mostly so you could continue to use that laptop with Edge.

If you can get it going, do a backup somewhere so you have the data in a safe place and maybe a second format so you don't run into this again. On a cloud server for instance where it's pure data that can be downloaded on various platforms.

Good luck.
