Strange things happen in Windows. Things get enable that were off and vice versa.
You said your Image was old, do you use restore points?

I tried what you suggested, but still nothing...
I don't think I have a restore point available... And I'm not sure what I can do from the cmd if there are any commands for this anyway.
Well worth a shot then.
Get to login screen, find power icon. Hold shift and click restart.
When Advance Startup options come up, trouble shoot, advance, Restore system.
I would leave D: disconnected.
You need to go to the disk makers site and get the free disk test for their drive and test d it seems the problem is more of disk structure fault that a full disk check would fix. If its hut down unexpected then data will be corrupted it file structure not hardware
Apparently, Windows 10 creates automatically some restore points. So I have one from less than two days ago. I restored to that.
However, the problem with the disks may still exist there. I think I should download Western Digital's disk test software before anything else.
What do you guys suggest?

I restored successfully, but Windows does some automatic disk scans and fixes. I hope that doesn't break anything though...
When Windows starts automatically doing disk scans then you know there are disk problems.
Your first step is to backup all your data.
When a hard drive dies it can blink out like a light bulb.
Restoring my PC fixed the login issue. There was no change to any of my files, so everything's good. I also have backed-up all of my needed files, so no problems there.
Well, the scan was about my C: drive, which also has Windows. Maybe the problem is there? I changed all cables for that drive too, just to make sure, but that didn't help. So, I don't know if it's the drive's fault or a software problem. I'll download Western Digital's software to make sure.

So, the C: drive easily passed Western Digital's disk test. I found no problems whatsoever. However, the D: drive couldn't complete the test and gave me an error.

D: failed even the extended test...
I don't know if it's a problem with the disk, or with the files in the disk. I surely can't buy another disk at the moment and since this one is the largest I have (2TB), I need to keep using it. But if it's something wrong with the files (corruptions and such) maybe I could fix it somehow...
What do you guys think?
I thought this may have been your disk hence the requests to disconnect.
Are you feeling lucky?
Don't mean to be a smart #$% but no one knows.
Bad sectors may contain files but bad sectors are hardware errors, in my books.
You could run chkdsk /f but this is going to work the drive. If it is near failure this could be the push that sends it over the ledge.
Chkdsk /r will scan for bad sectors and will do the /f portion as well.
I would be buying a drive and get files off. If you have smaller drives split this one up.
You are on borrowed time. This might work for a week or more or could die as you read this.
