    I was using Windows 11 on my gaming pc and I downloaded some mods that gave me a tough virus I'm having trouble getting rid of.It slowed my pc down to almost a freeze, locked me out of Windows security using IT administrator, and quick scan was not finding anything. I did a reset from safe mode, wiped everything, and my computer worked for a while. I think the virus was still there in Windows cause it happened again shortly after. It won't let me reinstall windows from Cloud and tells me to install localDo I need to get a new Windows Key? Is there a way for me to remotely clean my Cloud and do

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Security Virus Scan

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.
