SFC Scannow
Boggin:
While I've come across a Windows.old folder after a repair install, I've never seen those .00/.01 folders.
From a Google I found this answer from a MS tech on another forum, so it looks like you can delete those.
"The found.00% folders contain recovered clusters by Scandisk or Chkdsk in the event of a corruption in the filesystem, you can view their contents if there is any data that is still recoverable, otherwise if access permits it, you may delete them"
Did you try the cold boot to see if it resolved the F2 or F12 problem ?
I wonder if turning off fast start up may allow you to get into F2 and F12.
You haven't said if you are using a laptop or a desktop machine.
Go Start - type powercfg.cpl and press enter when it comes up.
With a desktop machine you would click on Choose what the power buttons do but on a laptop it's Choose what closing the lid does.
Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable which will activate the boxes below for fast startup and hibernate to uncheck.
Click on Save and then shutdown and try F2 or F12 again.
As you reinstall each program, run another sfc /scannow to see if any produce those errors that sfc /scannow is popping up with.
Which antivirus program are you using because any 3rd party AV program should disable Windows Defender.
I've recently changed from Norton Security to Kaspersky Total Security and subsequent sfc /scannows have come back clean except for on one machine.

Boggin:
I recently cam across this driver updater program which found a number of drivers me for an old Win 7 laptop, although I don't normally recommend these sort of programs.
Anyway, give it a go - it's free - https://www.drvhub.net/
Did turning off fast startup resolve the F2 and F12 problem @

I ran that program it found a lot of missing drivers and when it got done,blue screen says “pc ran into a problem we collecting some error info we will restart got you that’s has been 20 mins. Showing 0 complete yes F12 is working.Can I go ahead an restart it
Boggin:
Oh - it sounds like it's downloaded a wrong driver.
This is one of the reasons why I don't usually recommend these type of programs, but it worked well for my Win 7 machine.
My Win 7 laptop recently had the motherboard replaced and it was slightly different to the original, but one of the drivers was for a SATA Controller and it had managed to dig out a wireless driver update that I had been unable to source myself.
Let me know how that BSOD progresses.
I'm not sure if it would be safe to shut it down then boot up with the thumb drive to use your restore points.
