    Almost certain I have a virus, in 2020 is reinstalling windows still the go to for...


    I've been always under the understanding that if you get a virus past windows built in crap, then trying to get anti virus software to remove it is nearly impossible. That was a decade ago.

    Have things changed?

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Almost certain I have a virus, in 2020 is reinstalling windows still the go to for... :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
