KB5132061 bricked the functionality of many apps, my file explorer, and caused the activation of BitLocker.

Ever since updating to Windows Security Update KB5132061, many functions of my computer are non-functional. The file explorer loads and loads. WhatsApp, Feedback Hub, and other apps installed through the Microsoft Store do not function. My Proton Drive will no longer connect to my hard drive. The most concerning issue was after restarting my computer, the blue BitLocker screen appeared, despite never activating BitLocker for this laptop. After about a minute on that screen, my laptop suddenly powered off. When powering back on, the BitLocker screen was thankfully gone. I'm concerned that my computer will eventually become 100% non-functional. My computer is not old, it is not low on memory or CPU performance, or drive space.
