Windows 10: Blue screen with qr code and continuous restarting and automatic repair from windows...

Hi. I turned on my desktop for doing my homework and all the files were encrypted and I found that my pc had ransomware attack. It was ZEPPELIN . I tried to run windows defender but it showed there is no threat. I deleted all the files which were named with "!!! ALL YOU FILES HAVE BEEN ENCRYPTED !!!" As I came to know that these files are the source of the virus. And I went to recovery and then from 3-6 restore points, I chose 15/07/21 point. As I knew I didn't install anything that day and I installed some software after that day. I waited for 3-4 hours and it successfully did that process.

Windows 10 BSOD Errors to Come with Troubleshooting QR-Codes

With its latest Preview Build (build 14316), Microsoft patched Windows 10 to make BSOD (blue-screen of death) errors more useful for system analysts and power-users. The blue-screen now puts up a QR-code to the knowledge-base page related to the error. Microsoft also set up an easy to remember URL at "windows.com/stopcode" for quick-reference to info and possible fixes to various kinds of errors.

The Register makes a valid case for how QR-codes in BSOD screens can be misused by malware developers. Malware or ransomware developers can now make their wares fake a BSOD screen with a QR-code that leads to their web-page to steal your information, or point you to download even more malware.

QR Code Question

Cool. Last thing is I want to use is a QR code on the side of a dozen company trucks that leads to the blue waffle.
