Not even gonna try to justify it, I fucked up high time. That poor piece of technology has more viruses than an experimental lab right now, its totally fucked.

Can’t type shit, can’t run the antivirus, can’t delete the offending file, can’t end the task, fuck I can’t even navigate trhough files- honest to God, that PC does not belong to me right now. But I want it back from whatever piece of hell I shoved it into…

I know enough to be able to run a pen drive windows reinstall, but how do I wipe the PC if control has completely been taken from me?

    And if you do need to run stuff from untrusted sources please at least use a VM if not a disposable machine for that crap.
    My disposable right now is a mini pc with the AMD A9 9400APU just because resources are so tight on it that if it bogs down I KNOW it has something, even if the virus scan is clean. And that set me back like 50 bucks.

      Here’s an upvote for you, good sir. I can’t stress enough how important it is to know how to set up and use your own VM.

      OP, I haven’t heard of a case like this since 2006. Even our school computers were healthier back then! 😂
