One day, I tried to capture with snip and sketch but I don't get the on-screen banner or action center notifications. I tried to turn it on in "Get notifications from senders" but the snip and sketch thing wasn't even there. I'm pretty sure because there was only 6 items to turn on. I tried different methods from the Internet but none of them worked. Send help.

Try to press on the small notification icon and see if it's there.
If it is there, then you should disable "work hours" in settings, such as that windows won't mute notification ( aka "focus assist" ). Here's a guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-off-notifications-in-windows-during-certain-times-81ed1b25-809b-741d-549c-7696474d15d3#ID0EDD=Windows_10
I'd you do not see the snip, then change the setting in "snip and sketch" settings, like here Windows 10 New Snip & Sketch Tool notification missing

Since the basic repair did not work, then next step is a Windows 10 Repair Install.
Since DISM / SFC did not work, then next step is a Windows 10 Repair install.
Go to the Windows Media Creation Link
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Windows 10 is running, so click on the Download button (not Upgrade Button) and select Run. This will launch the Repair. Proceed normally answering the prompts. The default Keep prompt is to Keep Everything. Keep Everything does just that and is not a fresh install.
The Keep Everything repair often works. If not, it normally means the User Profile is damaged or the operating system is seriously damaged.
In either case, the best solution is to back up and reinstall Windows.
Follow up:
You said your computer is 6 years old. You can easily reinstall Windows if the computer is in good shape otherwise. However at 6 years old, it will not run Windows 11.
It may be time to replace the computer with a Windows 11 computer.
