Several system restore points are available but I cannot proceed, the status shows "You must enable system protection on this drive".
Startup repair failed. I am able to open the command prompt.

The backup plan is boot rescue.
Find a flash drive that you can format.

If a backup image were available:
Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect | Windows 10 Tutorials
At step 10: should I select the system drive? Volume 0 is showing as one of my secondary HDD's. The system drive is volume 2.
step 10 is using disk not volume
did you mean disk 1 instead of disk 0?
Display the info for disk 0 and disk 1 then in the latter commands.
In approximately one hour I will return but must run an errand now.
See what you can do with the above commands and post images into the the thread.
Sorry, disk 0 is a backup and disk 1 is the system drive. Should I still start with disk 0?
For each disk run these commands:
select disk 0
detail disk
select disk 1
detail disk
select disk 2
detail disk
select disk 3
detail disk
For the applicable disk with the volumes and partitions run the subsequent commands so that all of the partition information is displayed.
When I run chkdsk /R:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
yes
reboot as needed
In post #2 which steps were skipped?
Had a Macrium backup image never been made?
Had a restore point never been made?
Had the BIOS been reset?
Any other steps skipped in post #2 or other posts?
Were restore points at any time manually turned on or off?
