Windows 10: I believe my Windows 11 laptop computer may have been hacked

I was in the middle of a financial transaction on my Windows 11 computer today when my screen was taken over by a message that Windows was being updated. My settings do not allow automatic updates. Was I being hacked today?

Laptop Hacked - Password Changed

Okay.... I followed all the steps in Option Four right up to Step 8,


[
where unlike the Tutorial, I got HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\000001F4. No 'S' in the word Account.

Then, in Step 9, when I opened the 000001F4 key, I was instructed to change 11 to 10 in the first column of line 0038. On the problem laptop, the first column of line 0038 has a value of 15, not 11. I would supply a screenshot but I don't know how to do that on a computer that won't start.

So I didn't do anything. I obviously need more help.

That would appear to be just a simple typo. Look at the bottom of Regedit in the screenshot at step 8 where it too clearly shows \Account\ with no 'S'. @Brink should be able to confirm that. I've just followed the instructions on another PC and it too had Account in the singular.

Very sensible to leave things alone and seek further help. I don't know what the value 15 means, or if its safe to change it. On the machine I just modified it was 11 as expected. Hopefully someone who knows more than me will be along shortly.

 

I believe I was hacked.

I believe I've been hacked by the Micro soft message alert. I my computer now comprimised? I allowed this person to access my computer. I did not agree to any repairs or pay any money. Please advise me on what to expect. Thank you
