bootrec /scanos or bootrec /rebuildbcd not working

0

Recently my system got a BSOD while downloading something which led to corruption of system files.

I was able to correct them using sfc/scannow and chkdsk /s /r. I can boot into Windows normally but whenever I try to boot into Windows recovery environment, I get the BSOD saying its not available/accessible. I figured it might be due to corrupted MBR and try to run commands according to this but I get responses exactly as mentioned here:

except /fixboot leads to element not found. I should also mention that I had recently cloned this system to the new SSD. This is the error I got before using chkdsk:

Is there any way to fix the Windows recovery environment? Can I recreate it? Also why am I getting this error while trying to fix the MBR? I tried marking the partition as active. I've tried bcdboot d:/windows which resulted in boot files cannot be copied. scanos just returns nothing not even 0 installations found, it just gives up.

Here is an image from disk management, it is MBR boot not UEFI.
