Hard drive having problems after Windows Update

Hey guys been trying to find an answer for some problems concerning my HDD recently after a forced windows 10 update. So after I start up my pc, and run some games/apps they all start crashing and malfunctioning. Games tend to load but get stuck on logo screens and black screens with 0 FPS and 0 GPU usage, while apps like Discord and Spotify will just freeze and crash. Even after uninstalling/reinstalling the programs and games, they either crash or black screen upon starting. All of these programs/games are on my HDD, while my OS operates from my SSD. I figured the problem has to do with my HDD since I tried installing discord both on my SSD and HDD, only for it to work on my SSD perfectly. I tried disk cleaning, scanning, and defragmenting my HDD, but my PC hasn't located anything wrong with it. I also checked its healthy and its in good standing so I'm completely lost here on what to do to get the problem fixed. Thanks for the help in advance.

OS: Windows 10
CPU: i5 6600k
GPU: GTX 970
Ram: 16GB
