Not actually bricked, I assume -- your laptop has not been "turned into a brick", just had the OS corrupted, right? You could presumably wipe and reinstall Windows to fix it.
(Not saying that doesn't suck, just arguing with the terminology.)

But reinstall Windows crashes, USB recovery drive only helps copy files from command line, system restore points all crash. “OS corruption” sounds like it can be repaired while keeping files, but this is worse than that.
If it corrupts your OS and it corrupts your files, that sucks, but it's not bricking unless it's impossible to install a working operating system.
