From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bummer. Pop os is as bulletproof as any non immutable operating system i can imagine. I have booted into pop many times without experiencing this once and same goes for others i know.
Most likely, it really is windows messing with your stuff or the ssd is on its way out. Only time I did experience similar things was when the ssd was becoming unreliable.
I did recently hear of hybernation being a problem when dual booting when someone booted into windows in between while linux was hybernating.
I'd suggest booting a boot stick with a live stick and try from there. Since pop os is made by a company selling hardware, they have a pretty strong motivation to make their distro work. Check their website too https://support.system76.com/articles/bootloader/
Let me know if you need more help.
