Windows 10: Malware infected PC does not boot :Critical_Process_Died

I ran a malware infected file which disabled my windows update and its related services which on using a restore point got fixed, however I wanted to know why Windows Defender never prevented the virus so I scanned the infected file which when I downloaded in zip was only 14 mb showed itself as 740 mb in explorer.The windows defender froze my whole PC, I could barely do anything, no other processes except defender was taking the resources, so I thought maybe Defender is fixing the file instead of deleting it.I tried to shift+delete the file but I accidentally ran it.It was a simple spywar

I was hoping someone could give me a list of step by step instructions you use as a guide to clean virus, malware...etc. so I can keep my PC clean if it gets infected.

Hi:

There is no one set of "boilerplate", "cookbook" or standard steps.
Each computer is unique.
Each malware infection is unique.
Proper diagnosis, cleanup and repair depends on the particular infection and the system that is infected.
The process can be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring the use of multiple powerful tools, in the proper sequence.
Many of them can actually damage the system if deployed improperly by untrained computer users.

Bottom line:
Malware cleanup is best done with *customized* support provided by trained individuals who know what tools to use and how to use them.

There are a few folks with such expertise here at this forum (I am not one of them).
And there are a number of reputable computer disinfection fora where trained malware removal experts provide free, custom assistance.

Cheers,
