Windows 10: Issue with Persistent Root-Level Virus in PC Windows 10

Hi, I've been trying to deal with an ultra serious infection in my PC for some time now. My laptop is thinkpad Gen 2 T14 20XW, and has Windows 10 home edition installed in C drive the other hard drive is for data storage. Signs of infection include irregular fan noise even when CPU usage is low and no apparent program is running, the cursor going haywire and jumping to the edge of the screen randomly, windows/tabs closing by themselves, and network failures. When I open up Local Security Policy, there's a strange remote? user with SID ending in "551" that is permitted to among other things

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 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
