How to recover files after chkdsk from found.* directories and *.chk files?

After starting the computer and doing a disk check/attempt to restore the OS, it turned out that CHKDSK had hacked the system drive. As a result, instead of data at the root, there are a bunch of directories like found.019 with files file00000000.chk. Programs like CHKParser32 and CHK-Mate, besides not recovering and finding *.docx type documents, also each time they need to specify a directory with *.chk files.
The question is how to recover data from these files, maybe there is more or less modern free software with the ability to detect and restore *.docx files and others?

CHKDSK didn't threaten you. Either the file system is damaged, or the disk itself is damaged, and there is nothing to be done about it.
Fragments of files that could be recovered get into found, and what the hell knows there, these are pieces of files from which damaged sectors were cut.

CHKParser32 and CHK-Mate except that they don't recover and find documents like *.docx ... there may be more or less modern free software with the ability to detect and recover files

In CHKParser32, you can just independently determine the signatures you need, look at the program description, it describes the contents of the ini file and its editing: https://rlab.ru/tools/chkparser32.html

Also, try to approach recovery from the point of view that a .docx file is essentially an archive. On a separate computer, without turning on / connecting the disk on which the data was lost, create a new .docx, paste some text there, save and study the structure of the resulting file.
