Swift SF514-55TA - Sihost.exe error popped out.

Pk_Veritas

So A Sihost.exe error popped out.

I can enter the welcome screen but then it will be stuck there. the error box will pop out again & the lower taskbar will keep flashing.

I tried entering the advanced system but

1. System recovery says I need to pick my OS environment and choose System Restore
2. And the repair says that it can't repair my laptop & I should try the others in the advanced system
3. I'm trying to reboot the computer from a usb drive however an error saying "We Couldn’t Find Any Drives when installing Windows 10 or Windows 11" popped out.
   1. I tried putting the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (iRST) in the same usb however it doesn't seem to be the right one.
   2. It should be a Zip but only a .exe appeared.
   3. There is also 2 files I;m not sure which one

I'm super desperate right now. I appreciate any help I can get, thank you kind humans.

I tried following this tutorial for num. 3
Due to new features available with these products, a driver is required for the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (iRST). To use this driver during the installation of Windows , please use the following steps:

Download the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Extract the ZIP file, and copy the extracted files on a USB drive. Connect this USB drive to the system where you are installing Windows 10.
On the page where you select the drive to use, click Load Driver.
Click Browse, and navigate to the folder on the USB drive with the previous extracted files. When you selected this folder, click OK.
Select Intel RST VMD Controller 9A08 (TGL), and click Next.
The selected driver will be loaded, and the SATA drive will become available for selection on the screen.

You will use a Windows install flash drive, with the iRST files extracted to it. Boot from the install drive, choose Repair from the second screen and if it requires it install the iRST drivers. Navigate to the repair command prompt and use SFC and DISM as needed to fix the issues with your windows build and you should be good to go.
