    Windows PC Bricked


    Recently I ran a executable file, which had malware in it, it corrupted all my windows files, and deactivated my windows license, i'm not sure on what to do, I have tried SFC /scannow, and some other fixes, but it simply did not work, if anyone could drop some suggestions it would help! I have also tried to factory reset, but I think the recovery drivers got corrupt aswell, i've heard resetting a PC through usb using windows media tool would work, but i'm not sure how that works, if anyone could help that would be nice! thanks.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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
