This did get resolved after uninstalling several resently installed items and persisting with updates but it remained unusable because it could not communicate with its host.

In the end, I rebuilt the host (Linux Mint 21.1) and copied the whole Windows 10 folder (nearly 100Gb) and it is all working now.

That's a relatively large Win10 folder.

What accounts for that size ?

On Linux, there are things like KDirstat and QDirstat or similar,
which give maps of things like EXT4.

On Windows, you can use SequoiaView for the job. It does a similar
thing for NTFS partitions.

If Sequoiaview window will not move or resize, click the square
in the upper right hand corner. Then resume trying to use it.

Even with an SSD, it can be a bit pokey reading 300,000 filenames
off your C: drive .

How come you have these recurring issues, more than other users it
seems? Some fundamental setup problems?
