I've made sure even optional updates have run, and now I've run the Jaws repair. I'll see in a few days if that worked or not.
And I have a Lenovo, and all of its drivers are up-to-date.

Ok, well just make sure you're getting the drivers either from Lenovo Vantage or via Lenovo's website, make sure if you get them from the website that they are the exact drivers for your laptop. Windows offers driver updates, but Lenovo often has newer drivers. Lenovo Vantage also offers bios updates.

Well in that case I'd recommend running Dism/sfc. If that doesn't work you can boot into safe mode and try and repair Windows. If all else fails you can create a bootable usb and reinstall Windows. The Microsoft disability answer desk can help you access the bios and change the boot order to allow your machine to boot from a usb first.

Molly, Great minds thinks along similar lines. I've posted what follows more times than I can count, but it's appropriate, again, here:
On any Windows machine running Windows 10 or later, when issues inexplicably present themselves “out of the blue” and with seemingly no reason, these are the two things I recommend doing, in order:
1. Using DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) and SFC (System File Checker) to Repair Windows 8.1, 10 & 11
2. Performing a Windows 10 or 11 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows ISO file
If #1 fixes the issue, #2 is unnecessary.
